A copper pot still glowing against the cold basalt stone of the Coppermill still house

SINGLE-SITE DISTILLERY · WHISKY & GIN

Cold stone makes slow whisky.

Two copper stills, one basalt bond store half below the street, and a house rule that has never bent: nothing leaves early. We make whisky and gin on one site, cut the spirit by nose, and let eleven-degree stone do the rest.

THE TASTING MAT

The flight, as we lay it.

Three coasters, poured in this order at every tasting. Each one carries its own bottling record because provenance you can't read is just marketing.

COASTER I

$68

Millrace

Single malt whisky · 46% ABV

NOSE
Orchard fruit under wet stone; malt biscuit; a cold-room mineral edge.
PALATE
Barley sugar first, then pear skin and toasted oak, tightening mid-palate.
FINISH
Long and dry-stone cool, with the bourbon cask arriving late and staying.

CASK 217 · FIRST-FILL BOURBON · FILLED 03.2021

COASTER II

$92

Stone Bond

Cask-strength single malt · 57.1% ABV

NOSE
Dark honey, raisin and cask char; chalk dust; old copper warmed by hand.
PALATE
Sherry-butt weight up front — fig, walnut skin — carried on a mineral spine.
FINISH
Slow heat that opens with water and refuses to be hurried, like the cellar it slept in.

SHERRY BUTT 034 · STRAIGHT FROM THE STONE · 57.1%

COASTER III

$55

Coppermill Dry

Dry gin · 43% ABV

NOSE
Juniper first, as it should be; bitter orange peel; coriander seed warmth.
PALATE
Clean and stony-dry, the orris holding the juniper honest all the way through.
FINISH
Crisp citrus-pith snap. The still's day job, done properly.

STILL: PEARL · 7 BOTANICALS · ONE-SHOT RUN

THE PIPE RUN

Five stations. No shortcuts between them.

Follow the pipe from grist to cask. Every station below is a real place on our floor, and the tour walks all five in order.

The Mill

Malted barley in, grist out, weighed to the kilo. The mill gave the place its name, so it gets the first word.

The Washbacks

Ninety-six hours of slow, cool fermentation. Most houses stop at sixty; the extra day and a half is where the orchard fruit comes from.

The Stills

Greta runs the wash, Pearl runs the spirit. Both copper, both hand-beaten, both named before they were paid off.

The Spirit Safe

Cut points are decided by nose at the safe, early, when the still house is quiet enough to argue with. No timer makes that call.

The Bond Store

Half below the street, cut into basalt, eleven degrees every month of the year. The spirit breathes shallow and keeps what the cask gives it.

STATION 03 · THE SPIRIT RUN
Rows of chalk-numbered whisky casks receding into the dark of the basalt bond store
STATION 05 · 11°C · BELOW THE STREET

DOWN THE STAIRS

The coldest room owns the flavour.

Warm warehouses make fast, loud whisky. Our basalt cellar never moves off eleven degrees, so the casks work slowly and evenly — less lost to the air, more kept in the glass. That patience is the house style, and you can stand inside it.
