All about Copper & Kings

Kentucky-based Copper & Kings produces a wide range of spirits including Brandies, Absinthe, Gin, and limited releases.

Copper & Kings is most known for their Brandies influenced by American Whiskey and American music. Their original Brandy, first bottled in mid-2014, is comprised of copper pot-distilled Brandies from fine purveyors who were generous enough to share some of their wares.

Their Brandies typically use classic grape varietals – (French) Colombard, Muscat de Alexandrie and Chenin Blanc. These grapes are sourced from Central Valley and Central Coast regions of California. They also distill an annual Kentucky vintage Brandy using the Vidal Blanc grape varietal.
