Super proud to be featured in the @Telegraph this week, and to be one of the founding members of the newly formed #EnglishWhisky Guild. This wonderful milestone marks another chapter in the journey from #scientist to #backpacker to #whisky distillery founder!

“Despite our 19th-century roots & nearly 100 years of production silence, the story of #EnglishWhisky has only just begun".

We recently spoke with @AbbieNeilson from @CKdistillery about women in whisky:

"As a woman entering the space a few years ago, I was surprised at how much sexism I experienced. Fantastic strides have been made towards diversity but it’s still not as inclusive as it should be."

This vital survey closes on the 26th March. With a clear view of women's experiences and the extent of the issue, the government can make better informed decisions to protect us. Please share

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

Our survey on tackling violence against women and girls has reopened.

We need your views.

A proud moment in my career today - appearing live on @SkyNews and talking about creating England's first carbon negative gin at @CKdistillery.

Mastered my nerves and bossed it! 💪

@BeckyPaskin I've had an industry person mansplain how long whisky must be aged & the requirement of a bonded warehouse, despite knowing I own a whisky distillery. It baffles me that they don't see how offensive this is to us. A little respect would be grand, thank you!

[Abbie Neilson @AbbieNeilson]

Thanks @NatWestBusiness for supporting small businesses and telling the stories of female entrepreneurs. It was a pleasure to share mine with you.

@renireni I just read your book. I'm white. Thanks for increasing my awareness of structural racism & better equipping me to identify and dismantle the racism imprinted on me during my upbringing and the political landscape. Thanks for persevering; it's working!

[Cooper King Distillery @CKdistillery]

Distillery founders Abbie & Chris made it their mission to create premium sustainable spirits without a hefty environmental price tag. That's why Cooper King is proud to be a member of @1PercentFTP and support @ydmt in their work. #beonepercentbetter #onepercentfortheplanet

Great to see the cold-distilled marigold spirit being enjoyed by such a discerning palate at the fabulous @RootsYork. We love distilling this bespoke spirit for @TommyBanks8 and the team.
