A whiskey distillery in Norfolk has earned a highly coveted prize at a major global food and drink awards.
The Norfolk PX whisky, produced by The English Whisky Co., which is based in Roudham, was one of just 17 East Anglian products to receive a three-star rating in the 2026 Great Taste Awards.
The awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, are widely regarded as the world’s leading food and drink accreditation scheme.
Andrew Nelstrop, managing director of The English Whisky Co., said: "The Norfolk PX has always been something of a hidden gem within our range and everyone here at the distillery has always known just how exceptional it is.
"Every bottle is crafted with immense care, passion and attention to detail, and we're incredibly proud of the distinctive character, versatility and quality that The Norfolk PX delivers.
"To receive recognition from Great Taste is a tremendous honour and a real endorsement of the dedication and craftsmanship that goes into every stage of production.
"We firmly believe Norfolk PX deserves its place among the very best premium spirits, and we hope this award encourages more people to discover what makes it so special."
This year, more than 15,000 products were entered into Great Taste from 3,919 companies in 116 countries, a record number.
All 306 products that were accredited with a Great Taste three-star award were invited to take part in a further round of judging to identify which of them was worthy of a Golden Fork nomination.
This is an honour the company won last year for its Norfolk PX whiskey.
Earlier this year, it was named World’s Best Single Malt (Small Batch) at the 2026 World Whiskies Awards for its English Gently Smoked Sherry Hogshead.
The Golden Fork ceremony will take place on September 15 at Battersea Arts Centre, where the Supreme Champion will also be announced.
