Lock Stock & Barrel 21 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey

The rye comes in the brand’s opaque black bottle, shielding the whiskey from light exposure, and embossed with a black-on-black, 21 year age statement. The bottle comes in a wooden box that is charred in the Shou Sugi Ban process to preserve the wood and enhance the natural wood grains. Lock Stock & Barrel 21-year is allocated to 1,200 cases, and is available at specialty retailers for a suggested retail price of $499.99. Cooper Spirits was founded in 2006 by the late Robert J. Cooper, a third-generation distiller. Katie Cooper, Rob’s widow, is carrying on his legacy. The company was founded with the introduction of St-Germain, an artisanal French liqueur made from fresh elderflower blossoms. Cooper Spirits portfolio includes Slow & Low Rock & Rye and Slow & Low Coffee Old-Fashioned, both straight rye whiskey based bottled cocktails; Hochstadter’s Vatted Straight Rye Whiskey, said to be the first rye whiskey to use the vatted designation; and Lock Stock & Barrel’s expressions.
