Single Malt Whisky
Distilled, matured and bottled by Weetwood
With our love of single malt and our many years brewing ales with malted barley it was a natural step for us to begin distilling. Using our four-hundred litre copper pot still we laid down new make spirit to mature into what became Cheshire’s first Single Malt Whisky. Here are the releases currently available:
Single malt whisky from the heart of rural Cheshire
Every aspect of the production process – mashing, fermenting, distilling, maturing, finishing and bottling – is done by our own team at our site near Tarporley. We go to great lengths at every stage to generate flavour and character.
Our site includes a malt store, a brewhouse, a distillery and a barrel store. We occasionally run whisky events which include a tour of our production premises and, of course, some tastings.
We also have our own onsite shop and taproom where our whisky can be tasted. Visit Weetwood
Naturally Aged by the Cheshire Seasons
In recent years we have learned a lot about whisky-making – the impacts of different malts, yeasts, distilling cuts, cask types and sizes, maturation abv and environments and have released a number of different expressions.
Our whisky reflects Cheshire's history of evolution
Our branding and packaging reflects our county’s history, landscape and buildings. Cheshire has a history of evolution, renewal and innovation – from dairy farming, cheese making and salt mining to pottery, silk and being at the forefront of the industrial revolution. Our whisky reflects this history of evolution. Not to mimic what’s gone before, but be inspired by it. We’ve pulled on the timeless traditions of whisky making for inspiration, but we are not held back by them. The blue and yellow tiles are a nod to the colours in the Cheshire flag.
