Definition
I have added the current definition of the EU regulation as it key information and its exclusion will likely raise questions as to exactly what definition the English whisky category currently follows. It also leaves the article with a hole where there is insufficient information provided.ChefBear01 (talk) 19:14, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- I have expanded the definition section to add additional key information relating to how English whisky variates from traditional whisky production.ChefBear01 (talk) 13:41, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
Article check
I am trying to get this article to a B rating and need to know what improvements are needed. ChefBear01 (talk) 22:02, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Encoded: sorry to disturb you, please could you take a look at the recent edits I have made. I am trying to get the article as smooth as possible to read by fixing the wording and trying to find alternative words for the technical terms in the article as per the B Class criteria, Many thanks.ChefBear01 (talk) 20:27, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- The article looks like it's heavily improved! I'm unable to do a full review at the moment as I'm currently a bit overloaded with uni work, but from a quick scan through I don't see any major issues popping out. However I do have a few recommendations:
- I think the 'English Whisky GI' heading under 'Legal' may be unnecessary, as I can't find any difference between both sections. Might be more intuitive to remove the 'English Whisky GI' heading or to merge them. I also think the history section may have too many headings, specifically 'Origins and discontinuation' then having a separate 'origins' and 'discontinuation' heading within it.
- However, the actual content of the article looks good, and the article is fine as-is, just something if you needed something! As mentioned I unfortunately wasn't able to complete a full review as I'm currently just popping on every few days to answer questions. Sorry about that! I'm happy to re-review when my workload quietens down.

English whisky definition (GI)
I have made additions/changes to ensure that each step of the process is clearly arranged and defined from start to finish:
1. ingredients
2. wash (milled and fermentation)
3. distillation
4. maturation
5. bottling ChefBear01 (talk) 09:00, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
Statistics
Should only the most current statistics be maintained to prevent making the section too long and confusing with old data?.ChefBear01 (talk) 16:32, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
@Cambial Yellowing:, is it acceptable to create specific articles about English whisky Exports?ChefBear01 (talk)
