Cook’s A Shot in Time series of five prints will be sold through online platform The Whisky Auction from Sunday (31 January), with proceeds to be donated to the A Shot in Time charity. 

Each print in the series is said to capture the emotions of ‘what hospitality means to you’ and has been captioned by Cook with the lyrics from his track Praise You.

Whiskey Wednesday

Kentucky-based Buffalo Trace Distillery will host the latest episode in its Whiskey Wednesday series next week.

Whiskey Wednesday airs live at 2pm EST across social media profiles for the distillery and its brands.

Copper Rivet Distillery tours

English producer Copper Rivet and department store John Lewis will offer free tours of the Kent distillery for shoppers at the retailer’s Bluewater store.

Anyone who buys a bottle of Copper Rivet Distillery’s three spirits at John Lewis Bluewater’s Food Court in January and February will be offered a free tour of the distillery once visits can resume in the summer.

Stephen Russell, founder of Copper Rivet Distillery, said: “We offered distillery tours for two to anyone buying our Dockyard Gun, Vela Vodka or Son of a Gun English Grain Spirit during January and February, and it’s really lit a fuse. We had 15,000 visitors at our beautiful distillery in 2019, and if the rate of purchase at Bluewater continues, we could easily top that in 2021.”
