Copper & Kings Apple Brandy

Copper & Kings American Apple Brandy is a pot-distilled apple brandy from Louisville, Kentucky — finished in Kentucky bourbon and new American oak barrels, non-chill filtered, with no added flavors or coloring.

Copper & Kings, founded in 2014 in Louisville's Butchertown neighborhood, makes pure pot-still American brandy influenced by American whiskey — distilled in copper, non-chill filtered, with no added sugar, boisé, or caramel color. This apple brandy is built on crisp, aromatic apple wine and finished in Kentucky bourbon barrels and new American oak, giving it a fresh, lively character with a whiskey-like backbone rather than the warm baking-spice profile of many apple brandies.
