Where is Coopers craft bourbon made?

When Coopers’ Craft Bourbon launched in 2016, it was the first new bourbon brand in 20 years for Brown-Forman, the parent company for brands such as Woodford Reserve, Jack Daniel’s and Old Forester, among others. Since its launch, it has been made available in 23 states expanding its initial reach of only 8 states. Also, the brand has released a second bottling, Barrel Reserve, to its portfolio. Still, it’s a relatively unknown brand to most whiskey consumers. But each one is worth discovering, particularly for its price point.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a brief summary of the Coopers’ Craft Bourbon bottlings along with some tasting notes and our Distiller Community Rating.
