FLAVOUR DEEPDIVE
Barley opens with bright, juicy red berries - strawberry jam and fresh raspberries - followed by a generous wave of thick vanilla cream. Gentle baking spice brings warmth through the mid-palate, before orange blossom lifts the finish with a soft, floral freshness. Rich, vibrant and beautifully balanced, this is English whisky designed to be delicious first and foremost.

FLAVOUR MAP
THE BLEND IN 60 SECONDS
BARLEY is the first release in our three-part series celebrating the grains that shape whisky: Barley, Corn and Rye. This English blended malt brings together single malt casks from five respected English distilleries, each contributing a distinct flavour fingerprint - from honeyed malt and red berries to gentle smoke and baking spice.
We created Barley to break down barriers around English whisky and blended malt - transparent, flavour-forward and built for real drinking occasions, not dusty shelves.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
Half and Half, Beer + Whisky, Boilermaker - whatever you want to call it, there’s no denying that beer and whisky pair perfectly together. And for The Heart Cut x BARLEY, try it alongside Small Beer Co Lager - a refreshing echo of the malt that connects them both
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.
STILL NOT SURE?
Choosing a whisky can be a daunting task. With so much choice out there, it's important to make sure the whisky you choose is perfect for you.
