SIGNATURE SINGLE MALT WHISKY
This whisky’s maturation in highly active STR (Shaved, Toasted, and Re-charred) ex-red wine barriques imparts rich and bold fruity notes. These flavours align seamlessly with the vanilla and lemon brioche.
Signature boasts vanilla undertones, which resonate with the sweet, buttery essence of brioche. The vanilla’s warmth complements the pastry’s delicate crumb, enhancing both elements.
The lemon brioche introduces a zesty twist. Its bright lemony notes dance alongside the whisky’s complexity, adding a refreshing layer. Imagine sipping the whisky and taking a bite of the brioche—the interplay of flavours dance beautifully on your palate.

FOUNDER’S CHOICE SINGLE MALT WHISKY
Founder’s Choice Single Malt Whisky boasts rich and intense flavours. Its maturation in highly active STR casks, designed by the late Dr. Jim Swan, imparts delightful notes of toffee, chocolate, and red fruits.
The whisky’s toffee and chocolate notes resonate with the croissant’s buttery layers and cocoa richness. The croissant’s flaky, melt-in-your-mouth texture complements the creamy, rich flavours.
PEATED CASK SINGLE MALT WHISKY
The robust, smoky character of peated whiskies, reminiscent of bonfires and coastal breezes, finds a harmonious companion in the deep, bittersweet notes of dark chocolate.
The notes of Cotswolds Peated Cask Single Malt Whisky stand up boldly to the richness of dark chocolate. As you sip the whisky, its earthy, smoky undertones intertwine with the cocoa’s complexity, creating an intense flavour combination.
The whisky’s warmth and depth contrast beautifully with the chocolate’s bitterness. The slight sweetness of the Dark Chocolate Torte tempers the whisky’s peatiness, resulting in a balanced experience on the palate.
So, as you raise your glass and indulge in that velvety slice of Dark Chocolate Torte, let the Cotswolds Peated Whisky envelop your senses. A double delight.
