Our Story
Located in legendary Wilkes County -the “Moonshine Capital of America”; Copper Barrel is an award-winning distillery founded on the belief that everyone deserves a taste of genuine American craft spirits.
Our 100% true shine is made from a blend of rye, corn and cane sugar using a unique process and still design perfected by Buck. The result is an exceptionally smooth & full-flavored spirit that rivals even the most extraordinary whiskeys.
