Copper & Kings Unveils First Bourbon

Copper & Kings has unveiled its first ever bourbon. The whiskey is exclusively available at the Louisville-based distillery through a bottle-your-own tour, the Barrel-to-Bottle experience.

On the tour, guests can taste the flavor profiles of different barrels and finishes. Following the tasting, guests can then fill their own selection straight from the barrel, at cask strength. Each bottle is hand-signed and dated by Head Distiller Brandon O’Daniel. The Barrel-to-Bottle experience is a $35 tour, plus the $65 for the hand filled bottle selection.

Copper & Kings Bourbon features sourced bourbon, aged between five and six years, and finished for 13 months in Copper & Kings American Brandy barrels. In total, this first release includes 14 single barrels, finished in either apple or grape brandy barrels.

The apple barrel aged bourbon offers aromas of summer orchard on the nose with notes of cinnamon and winter spice. The palate delivers candied green apples and classic bourbon caramels with slight earthy tones, which give way to baking spice, toffee, and baked apple.

The grape brandy barrels aged bourbon opens with dried red fruits and caramel on the nose, complemented by tobacco barn notes and dry earth tones. The palate offers classic bourbon notes, followed by sweet grapes and dried apricots with hints of persimmon and grapefruit, giving way to honeysuckle with cocoa, cherry bark, and dark ripe fruit.

While this may be Copper & Kings first bourbon of their own, it’s not their first time working on a bourbon. Back in August of 2020, the brand teamed up with Bardstown on a Sherry Finish Bourbon
