Our Heritage
A Legacy Written in Oak
Good whiskey isn't made in a day. It's made in a lifetime of dedication to the craft.
Founded in 1892 by Elijah Cooper, our distillery has weathered Prohibition, world wars, and changing tastes. Through it all, we've remained true to one principle: never compromise on quality.
Today, the fifth generation of the Cooper family continues this proud tradition, blending time-honored methods with modern innovation.
