A rare and characterful release, The English Distillery Founders’ Private Cellar 16 Year Old Quarter Cask is a single cask English whisky that showcases the power of time, cask influence, and careful maturation.
 
Filled in early 2009 with unpeated new make spirit, this whisky spent 16 years maturing in a 100-liter quarter cask—a size known for accelerating interaction between spirit and oak. While initial fills proved too intense, this second-fill cask has matured the whisky to perfection, delivering depth without overwhelming oak.
 
Bottled at a robust 56.5% ABV (cask strength), this is a limited, small-run release offering a rich, full-bodied experience. Expect a beautifully layered profile of toffee, dark chocolate, and blackberries, evolving into a palate of sweet red berries, brown sugar, and caramel, with a touch of vanilla emerging when diluted.
 
Non-chill filtered and presented in natural colour, this whisky remains true to its origins—uncompromised, expressive, and deeply rewarding.
 
A must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of English whisky.
