The Norfolk Bramble - Whisky Liqueur 20% | The English Distillery
Jammy, juicy English berries married to the distillery's award-winning whisky. Ruby red and warm, with a fresh, fruity finish.
It won Best English Whisky Liqueur at the 2022 World Liqueur Awards, which is a fair reflection of where it sits - closer to a proper fruit liqueur than to the sugary blackberry things it shares a shelf with.
The nose is fragrant, fresh crushed blackberries, cranberries, cherries and raspberries. The palate is warm and richly textured, with blackberry jam sweetened with floral heather honey and a hint of aniseed, then lingering fresh and fruity flavours.
Drink it neat over ice, lengthen it with sparkling water, or pour a measure into a flute and top it with fizz for a berry bellini.

FAQs
How is it different from a creme de mure?
Creme de mure is a blackberry liqueur with no whisky in it, made to be mixed. This is built on English whisky, so there is grain and oak warmth under the fruit and it stands up on its own over ice.
What is the easiest way to serve it?
Over ice with a strip of lemon peel. If you want a cocktail, use it in place of creme de mure in a Bramble and cut the gin back slightly.
The English Distillery is England's oldest registered whisky distillery. The Nelstrop family founded it at Roudham in Norfolk in 2006, the first registered whisky distillery in England for over 100 years, and it is still independent. The barley is a mixture grown locally and on the Nelstrop family farms in Lincolnshire, and the water is drawn from the Breckland aquifer under the distillery.
