The Cooper Spirits Company, an independent, family-owned supplier of integrity-driven spirits, today unveils the ultimate bottling for whiskey collectors and enthusiasts alike with the Lock, Stock & Barrel 20-Year Rye Whiskey. The only US made 20-year old rye whiskey currently available on the market, the Lock, Stock & Barrel 20-Year is sourced from Alberta Distillers Ltd. barrels that were hand-selected by late spirits luminary, and third-generation distiller Robert J. Cooper. It’s made from a rare mash bill of 100% rye grain in copper pot stills, and a “robust cut” is then selected and aged in cold weather in newly charred – not toasted – American oak barrels. Created for the demanding spirits connoisseurs and collectors, the acclaimed Lock, Stock & Barrel series derives from The Cooper Spirits Company’s vast library of whiskey stocks in which all of the barrels were specifically selected by the late Robert J. Cooper. The 20-Year bottling in particular was sourced from Alberta Distillers Ltd. barrels Rob termed the “honey barrels” – Alberta Distillers Ltd’s oldest and rarest stocks. The series debuted in 2013 with the 13-Year expression, followed by the 16-Year and 18-Year, both of which won double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
