Profile: What Makes Cotswolds Founder's Choice Special

Cotswolds founder Daniel Szor's favourite casks? STR red wine casks, of course. Founder's Choice matures exclusively in these highly active casks – shaved, toasted and re-charred, a process created by the late whisky consultant Dr Jim Swan. Bottled at cask strength, it is a complex, rounded tribute to Dr Jim Swan.
