Adnams French Oak English Single Malt Whisky 70 cl 40%

French oak meets English malt whisky on the Suffolk coast.

Expert description

Adnams French Oak English Single Malt Whisky is matured in French oak casks, bottled at 40%. Adnams has had brewing operations in Southwold on the English east coast since 1872, but it was only in 2010 that the brewery established Copper House Distillery for the production of gin, vodka and English whisky. This made Adnams the first brewery in England to be legally permitted to produce spirits on the same site as its beer production, and the distillery uses local grains grown in the surrounding region.
