Cotswolds Founder's Choice

Cotswolds Founder’s Choice

I haven’t had many Cotswolds for now, just two in fact if I trust my memory (okay, my memory is called Google Whisky Sheet). And of those two, just one of them, bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company, was reviewed on those pages a couple of years ago. The other one, on the other hand, was before More Drams even existed, and before I had the habit of taking tasting notes. I do remember I found it quite okay. Hope that helps. (Probably not. Especially if I don’t mention it was the “classic” Single Malt, bottled in 2018, but no idea which batch). Anyway, I guess it’s a good time to have another one from this distillery located not very far from Birmingham. So without further ado, let’s try a Cotswolds Founder’s Choice.
