Exclusive Tastings & Thieving Experience | 1 Hour | Complimentary Welcome Cocktail | $58 per person

Step inside the side of Copper & Kings most guests never see. The Distiller’s Select: Reserve Barrel Experience invites you into the process of innovation where upcoming releases are tasted, barrels are evaluated, and the most distinctive spirits on campus are chosen.

Begin your visit with a complimentary welcome cocktail crafted with a Copper & Kings distillery-release spirit, poured exclusively for guests of this experience.

From there, your guide will take you deeper into the working distillery, where you’ll explore how we push American brandy forward – experimenting with barrels, finishes, and blends while staying true to the soul of the spirit.

Your experience includes:

• A complimentary welcome cocktail crafted with a Copper & Kings distillery-release spirit.
• A reserve barrel thief tasting, pulled live from barrels that are part of upcoming releases and not available on the standard tour.
• Rare distillery-exclusive pours, including experimental spirits and limited releases you can only taste on campus.
• A guided look at how Copper & Kings selects, evaluates, and develops new spirits, from barrel choices to finishing experiments.
• Tasting by the stills and through the distillery, experiencing the environment where these spirits are made and refined.
• A focused tasting that showcases the arc of Copper & Kings innovation from current releases to what’s coming next.

This experience is designed for guests who want to go deeper: tasting rare liquids, understanding how spirits are chosen and refined, and seeing firsthand what it takes to create the next chapter of American brandy.
