Now England has its own place in the annals of whisky history, proudly boasting the Norfolk-based distillery St George’s Well, established in 2006.
The build up to the first release of English single malt was palpable, and it just exploded onto the market. Prereleases were already being described as impish and exuberant. The ‘new make’ spirit from St George’s Distillery received critical acclaim; Jim Murray awarded in excess of 90 points to some expressions.
After putting the initial release of single malt (Chapter 6 in the saga) on our site, it sold out almost instantly. The hype has been huge, but it won’t end there. The whisky is superb! Having tried the new make we were already predicting a wonderful forecast, and when we tried Chapter 6 we were blown away. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for us!

This limited edition single malt celebrates the English football team’s iconic victory in the 1966 World Cup, in particular Sir Geoff Hurst MBE, who scored the famed hat-trick which secured the win. Marrying a selection of unique casks, each bottle has been hand signed by Sir Geoff Hurst himself! Only 1966 bottles were produced, we’re sure Sir Hurst must be relieved about that, seeing as he had to sign them all. This should certainly hit the back of the net as a gift for an England football fan.
