YORKSHIRE SPIRIT - TASMANIAN HEART
Inspired by the wild spirit of Tasmania and rooted in the rugged beauty of Yorkshire, we bring you whisky distilled with craftsmanship, honesty, and adventure.
Our journey began while backpacking through Tasmania, where small, pioneering distilleries showed us the art of making world-class whisky by hand.
Back in Yorkshire, nestled between the Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Dales, we built Cooper King Distillery from the ground up. Every bottle is a celebration of that journey and made with sustainability at its core. Here’s to good whisky, good people and the adventures ahead.
Collaborative Release / Summer 2026 / 70cl / 48% abv / non-chill filtered / natural colour / 1922 bottles.
Cooper King Distillery x Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery. ‘Many Hands’ is our first collaborative release, the first Yorkshire blended malt whisky, and the first whisky created through an open collaboration between two English distilleries. This is a limited edition release - each bottle has been hand-filled and individually numbered.
Many hands make light work. When the Cooper King pot still broke down in 2021, we turned to our Yorkshire neighbours across the Wolds for a helping hand. Heads were scratched, sleeves rolled up, a plan hatched. Together, we got the job done: a warm-hearted whisky best enjoyed with good company.
Distiller’s Comments. “What a pleasure it was to marry another distillery’s whisky into our own. Spirit of Yorkshire’s spirit brings wonderful honeyed, herbal notes, which pair delightfully with Cooper King’s layers of fruit and toasted nut. Collaborating so openly with our neighbours to create a first for the county (and the country) was a real joy, and I’m delighted to see it pass from my hands to yours.” - Abbie Jaume, Head Distiller
Tasting Notes
Nose: honeycomb, peach cobbler and blackcurrant leaf.
Taste: biscuit, toasted cashews and cracked black pepper.
Finish: toasted rye bread with butter & honey.
Yorkshire Blended Malt Whisky. Malt spirit from Cooper King Distillery and Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery was filled separately into sibling casks and matured under one roof. The casks were carefully blended and bottled to create a whisky greater than the sum of its parts.
Positive impact. £1 from every bottle sold is donated to our charity partner, Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, to fund life-changing apprenticeships for young people in rural areas, to help protect vital UK habitats (YDMT Registered Charity No. 1061687).
