Transatlantic Single Malt Whisky
This exceptional Yorkshire single malt from highly innovative and eco-supremos Cooper King Distillery is a must try! Their first edition sold out within minutes, and Transatlantic won't be around much longer either... so grab one while you can!
Heritage floor-malted grains are mashed by hand before an extended 6-7 day fermentation and double distillation in a 900 litre copper pot still. The spirit is then matured in a mix of ex-Bordeaux wine casks and ex-Bourbon casks.
