Stone & Still Distilling and Barrel & Oak Cooperage Announce Strategic Partnership
Stone & Still Distilling, a purveyor of award-winning craft spirits, and Barrel & Oak Cooperage, a leader in bespoke oak barrel craftsmanship, announced today a strategic alliance to launch an exclusive line of ultra-premium spirits. This collaboration will combine Stone & Still’s masterful distillation techniques with Barrel & Oak’s innovative barrel-aging science to create a new standard of excellence in the spirits industry.
