Why it matters

($19.99), a six-year American Apple Brandy (Bottled-in-Bond) ($24.99), and a Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in brandy barrels ($29.99). According to the company, these releases are 'more than new bottles, they're a statement of who we are' as Copper & Kings aims to reclaim America's original spirit - brandy - with integrity and craftsmanship.
