Introducing our latest Hearts and Crafts release

We are delighted to announce the release of our Hearts and Crafts Calvados Single Malt Whisky (55% ABV) – the sixth expression in our annual Hearts and Crafts series.

This series celebrates the Arts & Crafts movement, which flourished in the Cotswolds in the late 19th century and stood for the importance of traditional craftsmanship – the same values upon which the rural distillery was built. This latest expression embodies this spirit, meticulously crafted, thoughtfully matured, and undeniably inspired by the creative soul of the Cotswolds.

For this limited-edition release, our single malt whisky has matured in hand-selected Calvados casks, delivering rich notes of orchard fruits and a gentle, lingering sweetness that beautifully reflects the essence of traditional craftsmanship. A lighter, fruit forward and accessible whisky which is an elegant celebration of subtlety, sweetness and skilled maturation.

This whisky will go on sale for our general release today from 10am (Monday 5th May 2025).

Tasting Notes 

 Nose: Subtle notes of poached pear, baked pastry, and a gentle hint of oak bring warmth and depth to the nose, evoking the aroma of a rustic apple tart straight from the oven.

Palette: Delightfully sweet, this dram opens with pronounced stewed apple and sticky toffee pudding. Hints of vanilla custard and golden sultanas emerge mid-palate, adding softness and richness.

Finish: Clean and balanced, tapering gently into light wood spice with a trace of cinnamon and nutmeg. Lingering flavours of dried apple and sweet malt give it a graceful conclusion without overwhelming the palate.
