THIS MADE THE CUT BECAUSE
Whisky begins with the grain - the quiet hero of every drop.
Barley is the first in our three-part series celebrating the grains that shape whisky: Barley, Corn and Rye. Crafted from single malt casks from five leading English distilleries — Copper Rivet, The English, Cotswolds, White Peak and Adnams — it brings together their distinct fingerprints in one layered, modern blend.
More than 5,000 whisky drinkers helped shape its character through our Whisky Matchmaker, pointing us towards summer fruits, vanilla cream and gentle spice. Bottled at 46% and made in small batches, Barley is a whisky to enjoy your way - as delicious sipped neat as it is shaken up in a Whisky Sour or stirred down in an Old Fashioned.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS

BEHIND THE BLEND
WHY BARLEY
Single Malts are beloved across the world - Scotland naturally springs to mind.
But just below the border, England has built a whisky scene ready to rival any nation. Over 50 distilleries are now making whisky across the country, with a Geographical Indication on its way.
It’s a category reborn; after more than a century since the last English distillery fell silent in 1901, the new generation has brought whisky home.
Our English Blended Malt unites casks from five of the country’s most respected producers - Cotswolds, The English, White Peak, Copper Rivet and Adnams - into one small-batch blend.
And why a Blended Malt?
Because blending is where character meets creativity. We love the individuality of each single malt, but when you bring them together, you get something greater - a layered expression that tells the story of English whisky’s rise and a collaboration with some of the leading players in the game.
