Portrait: What the Cotswolds - The Harvest Series - Flaxen Vale Batch 01/2023.

Cotswolds: A term that is synonymous with untouched nature, sleepy cottages - and first-class single malt Whiskey. The Cotswolds Distillery has been the region's first full-scale distillery since 2014. In the middle of a postcard idyll, it produces natural whiskey from local, ground-malted barley. Its main feature? Fruity complexity.

With the Cotswolds Flaxen Vale the distillers are continuing their Harvest Series. Once a year, a single malt from the series celebrates the beauty of the Cotswolds by marrying two art forms: whiskey blending and painting. Paintings by local artists adorn the gift packaging.

The Cotswolds Flaxen Vale was embellished by the talented hand of Cotswolds-based artist Annabel Playfair. The single malt is as lively as its landscape portrait. Married from American Oak Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks and Spanish Oak Oloroso Sherry Casks, it captures the lushness and fruity Cotswolds character wonderfully and reflects the quiet grace of the surrounding landscape at harvest time in midsummer.

Outturn: 3,500 bottles
