Discovery Road Four Lions English Malt Whisky Small Batch (70cl, 58%)
This limited edition cask strength whisky has a run of only 45 bottles worldwide.
One of the first releases from Discovery Road, the range of "new world" whiskies chosen by whisky writer Dominic Roskrow. The collection is set to open the eyes of the whisky world by bottling expressions from around the globe, just not the usual places like Scotland or America.
Discovery Road Four Lions is an English single malt whisky taken from the maturing stocks at St. George's Distillery. Dominic Roskrow, St George's distiller David Fitt and Whisky Tasting Club members Tony Bagnall and Pat Barrow are the four lions that this expression was named after, as they were the ones that chose the four 50 litre casks that make up this release.
Established in 2006, St George’s in Norfolk was the in England to produce single malt whisky. With Iain Henderson, formerly of Laphroaig and Edradour in charge, the distillery produced both peated and non-peated single malts, marketing both under the English Whisky Co, brand. Its first release in 2009 was the first legal English whisky in over a century. The brand was relaunched in 2016, and is now known simply as The English.
