The Cotswolds Distillery was established in 2014, and is one of the few distilleries producing both English whisky and gin.
Initial development of the distillery was assisted by Harry Cockburn (a Master Distiller and former Production Director at Bowmore distillery) and Dr. Jim Swan (an expert in cask maturation whose previous projects include work with Penderyn in Wales, Kavalan in Taiwan and The Milk & Honey Distillery in Israel). Production began on 5 September 2014, with the first cask of single malt whisky filled on 22 September 2014. The first release of whisky (4000 bottles),[2] when a selection of casks had reached the three-year minimum age, took place in October 2017.[3]
