St. George’s Chapter 6, 3 year old

England’s sole whisky distillery (currently at any rate; anything could and probably will happen) is located in Norfolk where farmer Andrew Nelstrop started distilling in November 2006. Small batches have been released in ‘Chapters’ giving whisky lovers teasing glimpses of how the spirit is maturing. Light and delicate — there’s also a peated variant — Nelstrop reckons it will hit its peak in its early teens. I see no reason to dispute him. This chapter is picking up a straw color and has a nose that’s reminiscent of fresh barley while a little citrus hangs around at the back. Young — think green apple and green grass with milled flour on the tongue — it’s a whistle-clean whisky. £38
