Cooper King Embers Wood Smoke + Corn Single Malt Whisky Expedition Series Autumn 2024 | 700ML

This English single malt joins the Expedition Series from Yorkshire's net zero Cooper King distillery. It's produced from floor-malted heritage grains, hand-mashed, long-fermented, and copper pot distilled before maturing on site. 68% of the spirit was filled into dark-fired bourbon casks, while the remainder began in red wine casks, and finished in bourbon casks to create a vibrant whisky with the perfect profile for sipping beside a fire.

Palate: Toffee apple joins soft notes of charred oak, smoked caramel, and cakey spice.

Finish: Warming spices linger with silky toffee and a touch of black tea.

Distillery Information

A Tasmanian-inspired whisky distillery in Yorkshire, Cooper King is the story of a husband-and-wife team Chris Jaume and Abbie Neilson taking a chance. They aren’t industry veterans nor distilling graduates, he’s an architect and she has a Ph.D. in biomedical science. One game-changing trip down under saw them inspired by the likes of Peter Bignell at the Belgrove Distillery to construct a distillery themselves, piece by piece, with a decidedly local focus. A stint at Redlands Distillery’s week-long distilling school followed, which included sessions with Bill Lark, a shareholder who also founded the nearby Lark Distillery before they returned home and chose a site located just ten miles north of the historic city of York, nestled between the rolling contours of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the rugged Yorkshire Dales National Park. What the duo founded is a truly sustainable distillery. They source Maris Otter barley from Yorkshire farms and wooden casks from a local cooperage, as well as honey from their own bee hives and locally grown Yorkshire lavender. All the boxes used for dispatching orders are made by a local manufacturer using recycled card and FSC-certified paper and are 100% recyclable. And for every 700ml bottle of Dry or Herb Gin removes 1kg of CO2e from the atmosphere and plants one square metre of native UK woodland.
