Great for fall grilling!

5.  Coopers Craft Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

The perfect for your outdoor grilling experience.

Coopers’ Craft Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is saying goodbye to summer and hello to cooler temperatures and seasonal flavors with new fall and holiday cocktails courtesy of Coopers’ Craft Mixologist, Fitz Bailey. Featuring a fun pumpkin beer and bourbon mash-up to a vegan eggnog, these recipes are useful now through the New Year!
Coopers’ Craft Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was introduced in 2016 as Brown-Forman’s newest bourbon brand in 20 years and earlier this year launched a brand new expression, Coopers’ Craft Barrel Reserve. Honoring the men and women who raise the barrels, Coopers’ Craft celebrates the company’s more than 70 years of barrel-making and wood expertise as the only major distiller that owns its own new barrel cooperage. Both bourbons begin with the same spirit but are aged using different wood techniques from the barrel resulting in final products with distinctively different flavor profiles – ranging from light and gentle to bold and robust.

“Coopers’ Craft is a celebration of barrel-making and recognition of the importance of wood when it comes to crafting bourbon,” said Lindsay Engle, Brand Manager for Coopers’ Craft Bourbon. “Both Coopers’ Craft Bourbon and our new expression, Coopers’ Craft Barrel Reserve, are perfect for sipping your way through fall and winter – neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite cocktail.”
Available in the following U.S. markets:  Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia. Coopers’ Craft is presented at 82.2 proof and is available at a suggested retail price of $21.99 to $24.99 for a 750ml bottle and Coopers’ Craft Barrel Reserve is presented at 100 proof and is available at a suggested retail price ranging from $29.99 to $32.99 for a 750ml bottle.
