English whisky is back!!

St George’s distillery in Norfolk UK has just released the first single malt whisky to be commercially produced in England within the last 100yrs. Their first release was a 3yr old unpeated, un-chillfiltered spirit, very young and fiery indeed but by all accounts delicious enough to already be grabbing people’s attention worldwide. Whether it competes against the almighty Scottish dram remains to be seen but what an achievement at last and it begs the question – what took so long?! check the BBC’s coverage here
