We got seriously technical about fermentation. Discussed the ability for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/country\/english-whisky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English whisky<\/a> to innovate and evolve. We tasted EVERYTHING. And we caught it all on camera.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Watch the Tour<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We got stuck into every corner of the distillery and filmed the whole thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch it to see what it\u2019s like to experience a working whisky distillery in full flow, and hear directly from the folks behind the stills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s like a masterclass, just with better lighting. And I\u2019m wearing a leather jacket. Very cool.

Chatham was once a thriving hub of the maritime industry, helping to power the engines of Britain\u2019s naval empire. The Navy pulled out of its Dockyard in the early 1980s, and the town\u2019s fortunes dropped like a lead anchor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent years, Chatham Dockyard has been revived as something of a cultural hub, divided between a World Heritage Site, a commercial port, and a marina complete with an entertainment and retail complex. Part of the latter is a distillery, founded by the Russell family in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They had an ambitious plan: to put Chatham back on the map. Not with battleships, but with bold, innovative spirits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Copper Rivet Distillery officially opened in 2016 \u2013 one of the UK\u2019s only true farm-to-glass distilleries. That means the team controls everything from the grain to the glass, including the design and build of its own stills. Yes, it literally reinvented the gin still. And has a patent to prove it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Engineering meets artistry<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s something satisfying about watching engineers talk about whisky like it\u2019s jazz. Every cog, every pipe, every mash tun and condenser has a reason to exist. But the distilling isn\u2019t just about efficiency \u2013 it\u2019s about expressing character. And Copper Rivet\u2019s team know exactly what kind of personality they want their spirits to have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A typical day starts with mashing and fermentation \u2013 and we mean proper fermentation. Long, slow, carefully controlled, and constantly tweaked to enhance flavour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then there\u2019s the distillation, which is where the real artistry begins. Stills built from scratch with very specific flavour outcomes in mind. Spirits that are designed, not just distilled.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47127\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47127\" class=\"size-large wp-image-47127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copper_Rivet_Distillery-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"Whisky tours don't come better than at the Copper Rivet Distillery\" width=\"770\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copper_Rivet_Distillery.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copper_Rivet_Distillery-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copper_Rivet_Distillery-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copper_Rivet_Distillery-380x217.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Join us at the beautiful Copper Rivet Distillery<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><b>Making Masthouse Whisky<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Copper Rivet is the engine, Masthouse is the flagship. It\u2019s the name under which they release their whisky \u2013 and it\u2019s bloody good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Masthouse whiskies are made in Chatham using locally grown grain with obsessive attention to detail. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/copper-rivet-distilery\/masthouse-single-malt-whisky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Single Malt<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/copper-rivet-distillery\/masthouse-grain-whisky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Column Malt<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/copper-rivet-distillery\/masthouse-single-malt-pot-and-column-still-whisky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pot &amp; Column<\/a> releases each bring something different to the glass, but all are unmistakably Masthouse: clean, elegant, and packed with flavour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the range doesn\u2019t stop at whisky. There\u2019s also the award-winning Dockyard Gin, crafted with the same scientific precision and flair for flavour, Vela Vodka, a spirit that actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tastes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of something (imagine that), and The Son of a Gun range, comprised of spirit made from a trio of grains distilled in Copper Rivet&#8217;s pot still, then briefly aged in oak before bottling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why distillery visits matter<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whisky tourism often gets sold as a scenic trip through rolling hills and ancient stone warehouses. But the value runs deeper than a photo-op. Touring a distillery \u2013 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> touring it \u2013 changes the way you think about whisky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You begin to appreciate the gear shifts between science and art. See the human hands (and brains) behind the machines. Understand what goes into creating a consistent house style and why that matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As someone based in Kent, visiting Copper Rivet is a brilliant reminder that world-class distilling isn\u2019t confined to the Highlands. It\u2019s happening right here, in a town with an industrial heartbeat and a newfound purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wondered what a typical day looks like

He\u2019s visited distilleries, wineries, and breweries across the world, reviewed a variety of whiskies, gins, rums, Tequilas, mezcals, brandies, vodkas, wines, beers, and cocktails, and contributed all kinds of words in all sorts of places, including over 1,000 articles to its award-winning online blog, The Whisk(e)y Wash, and many of the handy guides you might have enjoyed. He\u2019s even jammed with Kiefer Sutherland AND dined with Ainsley Harriott.
