Bristol’s Circumstance Distillery has released its inaugural English whisky - the first to be produced in the city for more than 80 years. The last city distillery (Bristol Whisky Distillery) was destroyed during the Blitz in December 1940.
A limited number of bottles of Circumstance English Whisky went go sale today. Enthusiasts can visit the distillery directly at Coopers Hall in Bristol Old Vic from 5pm onwards for its official launch, with only 500 bottles provided and priced £60.
Co-founder Danny Walker said: “There is a lot more to whisky than single malts. Creating a mash bill that contains more than just malted barley requires some real skill, which our team has an abundance of.
