"The Chase family has farmed this land for five generations. After diversifying from potatoes into crisps, then into vodka and gin, James, his brother Henry and Henry's wife Lorna shocked the whisky world in September 2025 by releasing Rosemaund, a 10-year-old spirit that few even knew existed."
"In the glass, I find malted biscuit, green apple, meadow flowers, and a lightly spiced finish, with something that feels distinctly orchard-led in its freshness. Call it provenance, or perhaps terroir."
"Terroir describes the interaction of soil, microclimate and topography on a crop. In wine, it has been the dominant language for centuries. In whisky, it remains contested."
Rosemaund whisky, produced by the Chase family, highlights the importance of provenance and terroir in whisky production. After diversifying into spirits, they released a 10-year-old whisky that sold out quickly. The whisky's flavor profile includes malted biscuit, green apple, and meadow flowers, showcasing its unique origins. The concept of terroir, traditionally associated with wine, is increasingly relevant in whisky, raising questions about the impact of ingredient origins on the final product amidst traditional production processes.
