Located just ten miles North of the historic city of York, the distillery will sit nestled between the rolling contours of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the rugged Yorkshire Dales National Park, with major attractions such as York Minster, Castle Howard and Whitby nearby.

A disused stable block will be renovated to house the distillery and cask maturation warehouse, together with a rustic tasting room and well-stocked shop. With disabled access and visitor parking, everyone will be welcome to drop in for a tasty tipple and witness first-hand how whisky and other spirits are made. We’ll also host regular tasting evenings and special events.

To be as sustainable as possible, Cooper King Distillery have been looking at clever ways to reduce waste, recycle materials and reuse water. They will compost their food waste or feed it into a bio-energy plant that will turn it into electricity for homes. They will also run on 100% green energy.
