Forest Whisky Blend No. 26 English Oak (70cl, 47%)

Get to know: Forest Whisky Blend No. 26 English Oak

A celebrated English single malt whisky from the heart of Cheshire, showcasing the elegance of English oak maturation.

Tasting Note

Forest Whisky Blend No. 26 English Oak is a refined and award-winning whisky that balances vibrancy with smoothness. Golden almond in colour, it greets the nose with bright, fresh aromas of lemon meringue, hinting at its lively and expressive character. On the palate, rich layers of sweet honeycomb, soft butter, and crisp green apple unfold, underpinned by gentle spice and subtle oak influence. The finish is elegantly long, with soft wood notes and a faint burnt matchstick warmth. This English oak whisky is a masterfully crafted expression of modern English distilling at its finest.

Top food pairings:

  • Apple tarte Tatin or honey-glazed desserts
  • Roasted poultry with light, fruity sauces
  • Soft cheeses such as Brie or Double Gloucester
Kate Says

This is a whisky to savour slowly. The English oak adds a delicate elegance, and you get that perfect touch of honeyed sweetness. I’d open it for a special celebration or a quiet evening by the fire.
