The English Distillery

We’re the original pioneers of English whisky and England’s oldest registered whisky distillery. We’ve got whisky maturing in our warehouses to last 40 years. Our family’s legacy in farming goes back to 1335 and in whisky to 2007.

Our whisky has been winning globally recognised awards for many years, but this year, we were thrilled to be awarded the 'World's Best Single Malt Whisky' for The English Sherry Cask.

Taking one of our seven tours means that you get the opportunity to go behind the scenes and see how all of our exceptional whiskies and liqueurs are made. Start on the distillery floor before heading to the barrel warehouse and the Whisky Academy to see the entire process from barley to bottle:

With extensive indoor and outdoor seating, The Grain Kitchen is perfect for families and runs regular special events throughout the year.
