Cotswolds Reserve Single Malt

Score: 66

The club gave Cotswolds Reserve Single Malt a nod of approval as a solid entry-level dram. It didn’t try to dazzle with complexity or age, it just delivered clean, confident flavor with enough weight to feel substantial. The 50% ABV gave it a bit of backbone, and the bourbon and STR wine casks added a touch of richness without overwhelming the palate. For newer members, it was approachable but not boring; for seasoned palates, it was a reminder that young English whisky can hold its own. Not a showstopper, but definitely a respectable opener
