Featured Review
Small Batch Series 16
An 11-year cask strength release that leans into rich, dessert-driven aromatics with a bold, heat-forward palate and a long, evolving finish. A more mature and expressive step within the lineup.
Two batches. Same MGP foundation. Different outcomes.
One leans balanced and refined. The other pushes age, richness, and intensity.

Double Oaked (Small Batch Series Batch 07)
A balanced, high-rye bourbon that uses double oak finishing with restraint—adding depth and sweetness without tipping into heavy tannin or overextraction. A polished, highly approachable take on the style.
“Always Rare, Always Limited“

About Copper & Cask
Copper & Cask is built around a focused premise: find exceptional barrels, bottle them at full strength, and keep every release limited.
Founded in 2021, the brand set out to create an evolving library of aged whiskey—pulling from diverse sources and aging environments to shape unique profiles. Rather than relying on a core lineup, Copper & Cask intentionally operates without a flagship, choosing instead to release single barrels, micro batches, and small batch expressions that emphasize variation and discovery.
That approach sharpened with the addition of Barrel Master Stephen Corrigan in 2022. With over 15 years of experience across distillation, aging, and blending, Corrigan has helped build a refined cask finishing and blending program; one that prioritizes balance and enhancement over excess.
While much of the whiskey is sourced from Indiana, Copper & Cask leans into geographic aging diversity, maturing barrels across climates like Kentucky, Texas, Florida, and Rhode Island. The result is a portfolio shaped not just by mashbill or age, but by environment.
All releases are cask strength, limited, and intentionally varied, designed to showcase what careful selection and blending can achieve within the independent bottler space.
What They Do Well
Copper & Cask operates in the space between sourcing and craftsmanship, using finishing, blending, and aging environments to refine rather than reinvent.
Add that quality to the more than competitive pricing they offer and you have one of the best value brands on the market currently.
No Flagship. No Templates.
Every release stands on its own.
