THE DISTILLERY
At Coppercraft Distillery™, our mission is to produce only the finest craft whiskeys as a tribute to the American Craftsman.
To this end, we distill, source, and blend choice ingredients from around the nation. Our whiskeys are heavily aged with strong oaky flavors like tobacco, cinnamon, toasted nuts, and toffee. Our gin and vodka are clear-cut, bright, and fresh.
Utilizing the cognac technique, each of our products explore the unique effects of different distillation methods, barrels, and aging environments. We use all of that distinction to produce intentionally crafted premium spirits.
OUR STORY
Coppercraft was founded as a tribute to the American Craftsman.
Coppercraft was founded in 2012, in Holland, Michigan. Our distillery is nestled in the manufacturing coast of West Michigan, where our inspiration is drawn from the legacy of industrious workers who created quality goods and exported their handiwork across the nation. The auto manufacturers, furniture craftsmen, farmers, and entrepreneurs of Michigan left an enormous heritage. They proved that craft and time yield incredible results.
Although we are relatively young, we are hardworking and passionate. Since our inception, we have continuously perfected and expanded our spirit offerings to include whiskey, gin, vodka, and rum. We were the first Michigan distiller to offer canned cocktails, and we are proud to be an official partner of the Detroit Lions. In 2018, we were named the Michigan Distillery of the Year by the New York International Spirits Competition. A year later, the Detroit Metro Times named us the Best Michigan Whiskey.
We promise premium small-batch spirits, artfully crafted, and served to bring people together. Now that’s something worth celebrating!
WATER, OAK, GRAIN & TIME
Our offerings include single-batch varieties and specialty craft bourbons. We distill a portion of our spirits onsite and macerate with fresh citrus fruits and botanicals. Blended spirits are combined, filtered, and aged to bring out unique flavors.
The distilling experts at Coppercraft create premium spirits, proving there is no substitute for superior ingredients, proper aging, and barrel size. The flavor, appearance, and tenor of our spirits has garnered multiple awards and international recognition.
We invite you to try Coppercraft and enjoy premium craft spirits with us.
