Cotswolds Distillery, in collaboration with the esteemed Hook Norton Brewery, is thrilled to present Traitors Ford Rye Whisky. This limited-edition release celebrates dual milestones: Cotswolds Distillery's 10th anniversary and 175 years of tradition at Hook Norton Brewery.
Crafted in a single batch, the production of Traitors Ford began in 2016 at Hook Norton Brewery where the unique mash bill of 60% rye, 30% corn, and 10% malted barley was processed using a lauter tun—an unconventional approach for rye whisky. This method, inspired by a recipe from the late David Pickerell, ex-Master Distiller at Maker’s Mark, enhances the whisky’s distinct profile.
Distilled in a Holstein hybrid pot & column still, this exceptional whisky was matured for eight years in a re-charred American Oak cask at Cotswolds Distillery.

Made In the Cotswolds
The Cotswolds is hugely important to us; in fact, it defines every aspect of our being. We feel extremely lucky to live in one of England's most charming and beloved regions, full of character, romance and history. We try, where possible, to emphasise the rich agricultural bounty of the Cotswolds. The principle things that grow in the Cotswolds are fruits and grains, and these are the building blocks of our flavour profiles.
