A bit about


The Cat and Fiddle, a former Inn dating back to 1813, located in Macclesfield Forrest in Cheshire, is home to the Forrest Distillery.

This family-run business has been around since 2014.


Matured in English Oak casks, Blend No. 26 has a beautiful natural amber gold colour, 47% ABV and it is non-chill filtered.


Forrest Whisky uses English porcelain bottles that are handmade and glazed with gold.

Time to try it


Forrest Whisky Blend Number 26


Nose: Forrest fruit, sultanas

Taste: Sweet on the palate, but not overpowering, oak, treacle tart, dried fruit

Finish: Long, oaky, quite strong (you can feel the 47% ABV, but it is enjoyable)

Pros and Cons


It goes very well after a meal, instead of dessert, or paired with one, as it is quite on the sweet side.

I have only tried it neat, but I'm pretty certain it would work wonders in an old-fashioned cocktail.

I was very curious about the use of new English oak casks and this particular whisky has not disappointed me - the oakiness complements the amount of sweetness in the finish quite well.

In Conclusion


Priced at around £60 on most UK websites, it's a very good dram to enjoy neat.

Blend 26 is worth a try if you prefer whiskies great for sipping, with a medium body and a lot of flavour.
