Cornwall's first single malt in 300 years
Two Cornish drinks producers have teamed up to create what they claim is the first whiskey to be produced in Cornwall in over 300 years and the oldest whiskey to be launched in England for more than a century.
The limited edition Hicks & Healey Cornish Single Malt 7 Year Old Whiskey is the brainchild of St Austell Brewery and Healey's Cyder Farm.
Made with Maris Otter barley grown in Trerulefoot, south-east Cornwall, and spring water, the wash was mixed at St Austell Brewery's traditional Victorian brewhouse, before being transferred to Healey's Farm and passed through a double distillation in a traditional copper pot still. The best cut was then collected and filled into American bourbon charred casks.
