The rare expression is said to be the oldest rye whiskey available on the market. Distilled in 1999 and drawn from Cooper Spirits’ prized inventory of “honey barrels”—personally selected by the late Rob Cooper from Alberta Distillers’ rickhouses.

“The 25-Year-Old is the pinnacle of our ultra-aged rye whiskey collection and a genuine time capsule from the last century,” says Chad Solomon, Director of Innovation at Cooper Spirits. “This whiskey has been patiently waiting a quarter century to be experienced, developing extraordinary complexity through decades of gentle aging in Canada’s cold, dry climate. The meticulous barrel-selection process that Rob Cooper established has allowed us to create a rye of unparalleled richness and depth that showcases what happens when an outstanding distillate meets perfect aging conditions and patient stewardship.”

Only 250 bottles of Lock Stock & Barrel 25-Year-Old (111 proof) are limited to available worldwide for $999.99.
