Roadtrip yesterday to collect some more barrels. These guys could have their own TV show 😅 #KeepingupwiththeCoopers #StaffordshireOak #SpiritofBirmingham

Beautiful Staffordshire Oak from a sustainably managed forest. These staves will be drying out for another wee while before being made into casks for our spirit.

[Cooper King Distillery @CKdistillery]

We ask a lot of our casks, and much like family members, they sometimes need a little TLC. That’s where local @jensenscooperage steps in, repairing and resizing where needed, ensuring our casks continue their all-important job of spirit maturation.

[Tony Pancakes 🥃🌾 @MCDrammer]

Collected a few casks from the Coopers today. These front two are truly amazing and will create two very unique whiskies over the next few years. 🥃🌾
