Copper & Kings

1121 East Washington Street
Louisville, KY 40206

Copper & Kings is the only brandy distillery in the state of Kentucky. Their brandies are batch distilled exclusively in hand-hammered alembic copper pot stills then finished in once-used Kentucky Bourbon barrels. They’re non-chill filtered, with
no post-distillation additives for an uncorrupted, authentic, natural flavor, nose, and color. Fruit-based gins, absinthe and liqueurs are distilled on-site and only available at the distillery. Brandy has a long history in America. Where there were vineyards and orchards, there were distilleries, about 450 between the Civil War and Prohibition in Kentucky alone.

CLAIM TO FAME

Copper & Kings utilizes five subwoofers that play music to the barrels 24/7. This process is known as Sonic Aging. As the music plays, the brandy moves away from the sonic pulse and starts a “distillate wave,” causing increased contact between the brandy and the barrel walls.
