A detour through the Caribbean before the whisky lands back in the English countryside: cane sugar and ripe pears, wrapped in a robust 55.6%.
Expert's Description
Cotswolds 2022 Rum Cask Matured is a blended single malt English whisky matured in rum-seasoned casks and bottled at 55.6% ABV.
The whisky is the third release in Cotswolds Distillery's Hearts & Crafts series, which celebrates the craftsmanship tradition of the Arts & Crafts movement that flourished in the Cotswolds. The spirit is matured in rejuvenated French oak casks that previously held red wine and were subsequently seasoned with fine Caribbean rum, before being bottled in 2022 in a run of 3,000 bottles.
The tube is decorated with an exclusive William Morris-inspired design, a visual tribute to the series.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Soft cane sugar, ripe pears and a hint of tropical fruit, underpinned by warm oak.
Palate
A sweet rum character with brown sugar, banana and a touch of spice that gives the whisky body.
Finish
Long and warming, with a lingering sweetness from the rum casks and a gently spiced close.
