Road trip today to collect more barrels. We love the passion these guys have for their craft. We could get them delivered, but that's way less fun ๐Ÿ˜Š looking forward to sharing more mischief with you. #StaffordshireOak #ExBourbon #Whiskeytobe #SpiritofBirmingham #Distillery

This is what happens when you fill a new old cask Thereโ€™s so much for the yest to feed on I can see this being a very interesting beer

Some precious cargo has arrived at the distillery! We collected these delightful casks from nearby Jensen's Cooperage. Who knew you could fit 5x 110 litre casks in a Zafira...

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. ๐Ÿฅƒ๐ŸŒพ

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

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. Heritage grain meets English Oak ๐ŸŒพ๐ŸŒณ #SpiritofBirmingham
