St Georges whisky distillery

Originally envisioned as a micro distillery but as customs and excise wouldn’t consider anything smaller than 1800 litre stills the operation ended up considerably larger and a good thing too as there’s some pretty impressive stuff coming from the distillery! In particular their grains

Although the first distillery in England for over 100 years help was at hand in the form of Ian Henderson (formally of Laphroaig), who lent his expertise to, and helped train up the current manager/distiller/blender David Fitt.

The barley is from East Anglia, while the water comes from the Breckland aquifer, via a 160-foot (49-metre) borehole in the garden. The whisky is matured primarily in Jim Beam bourbon casks, uncoloured, non chill-filtered and hand bottled on site
