A special commemorative whisky bottle has been launched to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
The country’s oldest registered whisky distillery, The English Distillery, has teamed up with Norfolk charity Walking with the Wounded for this initiative.
The single malt whisky, aged in a mix of ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks, is limited to just 3,000 bottles.
Each decanter is hand-bottled at the Norfolk distillery, based at Roudham near East Harling.
The collaboration aims to raise funds for the charity, which supports the UK’s veterans struggling to adapt to civilian life.
From each bottle sold, £2 will be donated to the charity.
Kate Tabain, director of fundraising and communications at Walking with the Wounded, said: “We are thrilled to once again be partnering with The English Distillery to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
“Not only will the bottle acknowledge the sacrifices of so many to ensure peace in Europe, but all donations raised will be used to support veterans, whose service has maintained that peace.”
Katy Nelstrop, from The English Distillery, said: “We’re honoured to collaborate with Walking with the Wounded on this special bottle release.”
