Copper & Kings American Brandy Company, part of Bourdon Spirits Company, has unveiled its new flagship portfolio—three spirits that the distillery says redefine the American brandy category while honoring the brand’s rebellious Louisville roots.
The new lineup, launching this month, represents the next chapter for Copper & Kings: a return to authenticity, craft, and creative innovation.
The Core Portfolio:
- Six-Year Grape Brandy – A refined expression aged six years and bottled at 86 proof. Smooth, complex, and distinctly American, it delivers exceptional quality at an accessible $19.99 on shelf.
- Six-Year Apple Brandy (Bottled-in-Bond) – A bold and honest spirit crafted under the strict standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act, offering robust apple character and deep authenticity. Retailing at $24.99 on shelf.
- Straight Bourbon Whiskey – A masterful blend of straight bourbons aged 5 to 15+ years, finished for up to three years in brandy barrels. This innovative crossover bridges two great traditions, creating something unmistakably Copper & Kings. Retailing at $29.99 on shelf.
“These releases are more than new bottles, they’re a statement of who we are,” says Rob Bourdon, founder of Bourdon Spirits Company. “We didn’t set out to follow bourbon. We set out to reclaim America’s original spirit – brandy – and to do it with integrity, craftsmanship, and a sense of adventure that feels truly American.”
The new portfolio is available now at Copper & Kings Distillery in Louisville’s Butchertown neighborhood, with select distribution rolling out.
This launch follows Bourdon Spirits Company’s August 2025 acquisition of Copper & Kings from Constellation Brands, marking the company’s first major step in shaping a new era for the brand. From its reimagined packaging and visitor experience to its continued innovation in brandy and bourbon, Copper & Kings is doubling down on craft production, clear age statements, and value transparency.
