In 2006 the English Whisky Company opened the St. George distillery in the South English Norfolk. It was for the first time in more than 100 years that whisky was once again made in England. They work completely in the scottish way, making both peated and unpeated whisky. The Smoky is their first heavily peated English whisky with a smoke content of 45 PPM. The recipe was devised by Ian Henderson, former distillery manager of Laphroaig.
