Single Cask 01: 10 Year Old English Single Malt Whisky

Our first Club Single Cask came from one of the first on the new wave of English distilleries, Adnams. 

Adnams chairman, Jonathan Adnams was the driving force behind Adnams’ move into distilling, wanting to use their brewing expertise to produce quality spirits in the heart of Southwold, following a sustainable grain-to-glass process.
In 2008 they began installing their distillery in an area that previously housed old brewing coppers (large tanks used for boiling the hops and wort together when making beer) which inspired the name, the Copper House Distillery. 

Adnams was the first brewery & distillery operating on the same site for many years, which has allowed the Copper House Distillery to be one of the most water and energy efficient distilleries in the UK…cooling is one of the biggest draws on resources for distilleries, therefore Adnams brought the distillery into a closed loop system with the brewery, conserving heat and water – saving millions of litres each year.

East Anglia grows some of the best malting barley in the world and the majority of Adnams barley is locally grown by the extraordinary Holkham Estate, one of the UK’s most pioneering and sustainable rural estates. Adnams use the same locally grown, East Anglian malted cereals in its spirits as they use for its beers, with the rye grown by Jonathan Adnams himself on his family farm in Reydon.

Nestled into the Sole Bay Brewery in the heart of Adnams historic site in Southwold with panoramic views of the town, Southwold Lighthouse and the sea, the distillery’s first distillation in October 2010 was vodka with whisky following soon after, as the site produces Adnams’ award winning range of vodka, gin and whisky. This makes Adnams England’s third oldest whisky distillery!

You may our previous Club bottle from February 2024, Small Batch 03. This is the single cask version, which cranks up the bourbon flavours to eleven, having spent ten years in a Jack Daniel's first fill bourbon cask.
