Draft:English and Welsh whisky trail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The English and Welsh whisky trail consists of distilleries from across England and Wales, and was launched by The Wine and Spirits Trade Association (WSTA) on August 28, 2018 .[1]

The whisky trail was inspired by the success of London and Scotland gin trails as well as the English wine trail.[2]

Each stop on the trail has information relating to the distillery and as well as various activities. The WSTA hope that this trail will encourage visitors to learn more about whisky production in England and Wales and boost tourism.[3]
