English Whisky

English Whisky is a liquor made from cereal grains, malt and water.[5] There are currently two types of English whiskies produced malt whisky and grain whisky.[6][7]

Although England is not well known for whisky production, distillers operated in London, Liverpool and Bristol until the late 19th century, after which production of English single malt whisky ceased until 2003.[8] Since then, English whisky has experienced a resurgence in production.[9]

England, like Scotland, has a history of producing single malt whisky. However, the production of English single malt whisky ceased around 1905 with the closure of Lea Valley Distillery, in Stratford, London, by the Distillers Company Limited, one of the forerunners of Diageo.[10]
