Ok, I expect a full review from our Southern gentlemen this summer...

Brown-Forman, the parent company behind famed brands including Jack Daniel's, Woodford Reserve and Early Times, is bringing out its first new bourbon in 20 years with the release of Coopers’ Craft. Set to be available in select markets this summer, it celebrates the company’s 70-plus years of barrel-making and wood expertise at its historic cooperage in Louisville, KY.

In addition to being matured in barrels raised by master coopers at the Brown-Forman Cooperage, the 82.2 proof spirit is made using a special beech and birch charcoal filter finishing process aimed at creating a smooth and flavorful bourbon.

Hitting shelves this summer, Coopers’ Craft will be initially available in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee at a suggested price of $28.99 for a 750ml bottle.
