Whisky FAQs
What is bourbon cask whisky?
Bourbon cask whisky is matured in American oak barrels that once held bourbon, lending creamy vanilla, honey, and coconut notes. The Cotswolds Bourbon Cask Single Malt celebrates this smooth, sweet influence with a beautifully balanced finish.
What is the difference between bourbon and sherry cask whiskey?
Bourbon cask whiskies are lighter and sweeter, with vanilla and caramel notes, while sherry cask whiskies are richer and fruitier, featuring dried fruit and spice. Each offers a distinct character shaped by its cask type.
What is the smoothest bourbon to drink straight?
The smoothest bourbons to enjoy neat are those matured longer in American oak, like small-batch or single-cask expressions. Cotswolds’ Bourbon Cask Single Malt provides that same smooth, rounded profile with layers of caramel and oak.
What are the three types of bourbon?
The main types of bourbon are straight bourbon (aged at least two years), blended bourbon (a mix of straight and neutral spirits), and small-batch or single-barrel bourbons, prized for their depth and individuality.
