Largest English Whisky Distilleries by still capacity

Of the English Whisky Distilleries with whiskies actually released to the public, Cotswolds is the one with the largest still capacity at 6,500 litres. Although the Lakes Distillery has the next largest still capacity it is quite a bit smaller at 3,600 litres.

Still size indicates the production capacity in a single run. It does not represent total output of a distillery's spirits, or specifically which of the distillery's spirits are being produced in what quantity. A smaller still being used more frequently may produce more total output of spirit than a larger one being used less frequently!

Longest established English Whisky Distilleries by year

Although Healeys produced a whisky in 2000, it was in partnership with a brewery who produced the distillation wash. The English Distillery (or St. Georges' Distillery as it was previously known) was the first English distillery producing whisky from start to finish in its entirety.
