Pumpkin Pie Bourbon Milkshake, Espresso Donut in a Glass, Campside Sipper, Boozy S'mores and more from Coopers' Craft Mixologist Fitz Bailey
Louisville, KY - Cooper's Craft Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is saying goodbye to summer and hello to cooler temperatures and seasonal flavors with new fall cocktails courtesy of Coopers' Craft Mixologist Fitz Bailey. Featuring a pumpkin pie bourbon milkshake recipe perfect for Thanksgiving dinner or a day-after treat, bourbon and vanilla chai tea for those crisp fall evenings, to a boozy s'more in a glass, these recipes are useful now through the first snowfall and beyond.
Coopers' Craft Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was introduced in 2016 as Brown-Forman's newest bourbon in 20 years, followed by the new expression, Coopers' Craft Barrel Reserve last year. 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 Coopers' Craft Barrel Reserve are perfect for sipping your way through fall - neat, on the rocks or in your favorite cocktail."
Available in the following U.S. markets: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington. 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.
