Cotswolds Distillery releases £99 limited edition airport whisky

The limited-edition single cask whisky is available in a 70 cl format and was released yesterday (Wednesday, April 1).

Made with 100 per cent locally grown barley from the Cotswolds, just over the Oxfordshire border, this limited-edition single malt whisky was matured in a first-fill reconditioned red wine cask.

Filled on April 20, 2018 and aged full-term at the distillery in the Cotswolds, the expression was bottled from cask number 2246 on-site on January 30, 2026, at 61.9 per cent ABV.

During the month of April, the suite of Cotswolds Distillery products will be featured in several displays in the airport and available for travellers to sample.
