English whisky gets protected status, joining Scotch and Welsh
The English whisky industry has achieved protected Geographical Indication (GI) status, marking a significant accomplishment for a rapidly expanding sector. Over 70 distilleries currently manufacture English whisky, an increase from 46 in 2023, and their products are shipped to more than 30 nations. The GI designation formally acknowledges English whisky as a unique classification, a testament to the extensive efforts of its manufacturers.
