Cornish Cider Brandy. We distilled our 7% vintage cider twice in our pot still and put it into a new 50 litre medium toasted European oak barrel.

Last barrel started at 67% and ended up at 61% this is currently 77%

Nadalie Tonnellerie Moscatel
Shakespeare Distillery

Our 225L Moscatel Wine Cask, first fill, has been filled with our award winning (IWSC silver 90 points) Jester White Rum. The cask has not been recharged to maintain the wines flavour. We tasted this on 04/11/24 the flavour and colour was fantastic, sweet, fruity with great texture.

Want to know more about the rum?  Our Jester Rum is made completely from scratch in the UK at our carbon neutral distillery in Stratford Upon Avon. We use Molasses as our base which has been milled in the UK. Fermented for 7 days in our 2000L fermentation tank at a high temperature to maximise esterification. Our Wash is about 9% and we do 4 stripping runs on our 500L iStill. We do a final 11 Hour finishing run to capture the purest of the hearts which comes off the still at 72%. This is blended down with water to 55% to then fill the cask, NO SUGAR is added after the distillation. 

Adnams Triple Malt Whisky in New American Oak
Exploring English Whisky

East Anglian Barley, Wheat and Oats combine in a triple mash bill, aged exclusively in new American oak casks (toasted and charred to Adnams' preference - essentially the type of cask used to mature Bourbon). Distilled by the late, great John McCarthy this is a flavoursome dram exhibiting unique flavours of baking spices, coconut and chocolate, as well as more savoury notes that provide depth and intrigue to the liquid. Bottled at 12 years old (at 55% ABV), this will be one of the oldest English Whiskies on the market, and a single cask, exclusively through Still In Cask.

Organic Single Grain Whisky in Pear Pomona Cask
Circumstance Distillery

We have filled this cask with our new make spirit made from 85% malted barley and 15% unmalted barley. It was fermented on a saison beer yeast for a full 14 days before being casked.

GlenWyvis Distillery 1st Fill Bourbon Quarter Cask
GlenWyvis Distillery

Staoisha (Distilled at Bunnahabhain) ISLAY ex Texan Garrison Brothers with PX sherry finish
Integrity Malts

As our original Staoisha release sold out in record time, we decided to create a second sherried version so that you have the opportunity to compare bourbon and PX sherried Staoisha whiskies.

Staoisha is a new brand from Bunnahabhain, a revered Islay distillery. The difference between Staoisha and Bunnahabhain expressions is that Staoisha is a peated whisky (as you'd expect from the whisky Mecca that is Islay).

Independent bottlers have only recently started to bottle Staoisha spirit and already it's receiving great reviews and building quite the following.

The cask we are using is a 100 litre first fill Texan, Garrison Brothers cask. First fill wood imparts a lot of flavour and in a smaller 100 litre cask with greater wood to spirit surface area, we're expecting great results.

We've already tried a sample and at just four years old we can already tell it's going to be great! With vanilla, pepper, a touch of spice and even some salty coastal notes, we think this will mature into a great whisky.

However in September 2026, the whisky will be re-racked into Pedro Ximénez sherry wood which will increase its depth and complexity  by adding classic PX flavours and intense dried fruit aromas such as dates, prunes and raisins, coupled with spices of nutmeg and clove, this becomes reminiscent of Christmas cake.

The Texan, Garrison Brothers bourbon wood gives a slightly oily and waxy feel in the mouth too, which we love. We're really looking forward to bottling this cask and comparing the sherried version to our original Staoisha release.

Royal Brackla 2013 PX Cask
Integrity Malts

12 year old, cask strength Royal Brackla

Distilled on 8 April 2013 at the historic Royal Brackla Distillery, this spirit was initially matured in a bourbon hogshead, allowing it to develop a rich foundation of oak and vanilla notes.  On 30 Sept 2024 the hogshead cask was re-racked into a first fill Pedro Ximenez sherry quarter cask where it will mature for approximately 12 months. This final stage promises to infuse the whisky with deep indulgent sherry flavours including figs, dates, raisins, caramel and dark chocolate. As well as a naturally enriched colour, adding unique layers of complexity to its character.

Ludlow Islay Quarter Cask (Cider Brandy Matured Whisky)
Exploring English Whisky

We took half of our Cider Brandy cask matured Ludlow whisky (3 years of age) and re-racked it into this sublime Islay quarter cask for an extra year's maturation (total 4 years). Adding coastal smokiness to the lightly-peated Ludlow whisky (which already shows characters of apple strudel, dark chocolate and red berries), we're excited for what this whisky will become after time spent in this iconic cask type. Only 100 shares available, members of EEW login to your account for discounted price. Thank you!

Heavily Peated Single Malt Whisky Islay Quarter Cask Edition
Ludlow Distillery

Fresh off the launch of our extended whisky range at the sold-out Soho Whisky Club and following our success in receiving a Great British Food Award for our Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish edition, we are proud to bring you this exclusive release Single Malt Whisky. Crafted with a mash bill of two parts Scottish peated malt to one part unpeated malt, approx 30ppm; the smokiness of this whisky is amplified through maturation in an ex-Islay quarter cask. The smaller size of quarter casks accelerates the aging process, resulting in a more complex and intense dram. To be bottled at an elevated ABV of 57% to showcase the perfect marriage of the ex-Islay casks intensity and Ludlow's signature depth, this edition is a true celebration of the best whisky traditions—a dram to be savoured. This is the first 'Still In Cask' release from Ludlow Distillery. Stay tuned for more exciting editions in the future.

This final stage promises to infuse the whisky with deep indulgent sherry flavours including figs, dates, raisins, caramel and dark chocolate.

Ludlow Distillery - Whisky in Cider Brandy Cask
Exploring English Whisky

Nestled in the ironically named "Welsh Marshes", Ludlow distillery have been crafting premium spirits since 2018. Absorbing the Ludlow Whisky brand into their operations in 2021 they've rebranded it as their Distiller's Cut line.

This new make has been slumbering in an Ex-Bourbon cask for the first part of its life. We're taking the liquid and giving it a secondary maturation in one of Ludlow's own Cider Brandy barrels for 12 months, adding toffee apple sweetness to this earthy, lightly-peated new make spirit.

Spooky Somerset Rum in a Ex Bourbon Cask
Somerset Spirit Co

Cask number R003 - Spooky Somerset Rum made by the Somerset Spirit Co based in Castle Cary, Somerset. They make their small batch rum using sugar cane molasses which is then twice distilled using a 500 litre copper pot still. The chosen cask is a 200 litre once filled ex Bourbon barrel from Heaven Hill distillery in Kentucky, USA. The spirit was filled at 64.8% Abv and will spend 3 years aging in the bourbon soaked oak. You may ask why is it called ‘Spooky Rum’, this is because the cask was filled on Halloween 2023 under the cover of darkness when the spirits were roaming the Somerset countryside, the story is told that the distiller was hit on the head by a falling glass bottle whilst filling this cask and a part of Halloween is locked inside this barrel. ‘True story’. So, the barrel will be unlocked and the spirits released on the eve of Halloween 2026.  The distillery was full of aromas during the distillations with tasting notes of sweet banana, caramel and chocolate. We feel the bourbon barrel will complement the rum and make a spirit for whisky and rum connoisseurs alike. The barrel can be viewed on a distillery tour bookable on their website.

At Annandale Distillery we produce only the finest Peated & Unpeated spirit. Our whole production process was designed & commissioned by late, great Dr Jim Swan. Utilising our signature twin stills helps to maximise copper contact during distillation, thereby yielding a smoother, balanced spirit.

Fresh fill casks are really active, releasing flavour compounds such as vanillins & sweet caramel on the maturing spirit. This sits very nicely alongside the fruity characteristics of Annandale’s unpeated spirit.

Staoisha (Distilled at Bunnahabhain) ISLAY ex Texan Garrison Brothers bourbon cask
Integrity Malts

Staoisha is a new brand from Bunnahbain, a revered Islay distillery. The difference between Staoisha and Bunnahabhain expressions is that Staoisha is a peated whisky (as you'd expect from the whisky Mecca that is Islay).

Independent bottlers have only recently started to bottle Staoisha spirit and already it's receiving great reviews and building quite the following.

The cask we are using is a 100 litre first fill Texan, Garrison Brothers cask. First fill wood imparts a lot of flavour and in a smaller 100 litre cask with greater wood to spirit surface area, we're expecting great results.

We've already tried a sample and at just four years old we can already tell it's going to be great! With vanilla, pepper, a touch of spice and even some salty coastal notes, we think this will mature into a great whisky.

The Texan, Garrison Brothers bourbon wood gives a slightly oily and waxy feel in the mouth too, which we love.  We're really looking forward to bottling this cask.

The clear wort was distilled through a copper whisky hood and a 4 plate column. The new make spirit was casked at 62.8% in a 100L medium char virgin Andean oak cask. This new make is well suited to short ageing so we believe 3 years on virgin wood will be optimal. 70cl shares available in this cask.
