94 proof. 10 years. Muscat finish. The founding First Release of Bardstown Bourbon Company's collaboration with Copper & Kings American Brandy — Kentucky straight bourbon finished in Copper & Kings Muscat wine barrels at two distinct proof points.
Bardstown Bourbon Company is one of Kentucky's most innovative distilleries, producing both their own distillate and offering collaborative expressions with other producers. Copper & Kings is a Louisville-based American brandy distillery known for their non-traditional approach to brandy production — using Muscat grapes from California and aging in American whiskey barrels. The collaboration reverses this cask relationship: Bardstown's 10-year Kentucky bourbon is finished in Copper & Kings' Muscat brandy casks, adding the sweet, floral, and dried fruit character of Muscat wine to the bourbon's oak-driven base.
As the First Release, this bottle documents the founding of the Bardstown x Copper & Kings collaboration — the lower-proof (94) expression in a two-proof-point release alongside the 113-proof variant also in the Wooden Cork collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does Muscat cask finishing add to bourbon? Muscat is an aromatic grape variety producing wines and brandies with pronounced floral, honey, orange blossom, and dried apricot character. Finishing bourbon in Muscat brandy casks imparts these sweet, floral, and fruit-forward notes — distinctly different from sherry, port, or wine cask finishes.
- How does the 94 proof compare to the 113 proof variant also in stock? The 94 proof is the more approachable expression; the 113 proof delivers the same Muscat finish at greater intensity. Both are First Release editions from the founding Bardstown x Copper & Kings collaboration.
- Is the 94 proof First Release still available? Yes — one bottle in current stock.
