"Embers" is the latest release from pioneering eco-friendly Cooper King Distillery.

This is a deeply satisfying and vibrant whisky, shaped by time in dark fired bourbon casks - perfect for these chilly winter months.

An initial aroma of chocolate cherries, barbecued banana and forest floor gives way to a soft wood smoke palate with baked apple, cornbread and caramel. The finish is long and velvety with winter spices and tobacco leaf.
