Louisville Kings and Copper & Kings Collaborate for a Special Bourbon Release

The Louisville Kings, an exciting new team in the sports arena, and the Copper & Kings American Brandy Company have joined forces to kick off the Kings' inaugural season in a truly exceptional way. They proudly announced a unique partnership that spotlights the release of a rare collector bourbon, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Louisville's sporting history.

A Special Bourbon Release

The centerpiece of this partnership is the Louisville Kings private single barrel, a meticulously crafted bourbon that promises to be a hallmark for both collectors and fans of the team. This limited-edition bourbon is an impressive 15-year Kentucky bourbon that underwent an additional three-plus years of finishing in a Copper & Kings apple brandy barrel. This finishing process not only enhances the flavor profile but also pays homage to the local distilling tradition, making it a commendable blend of bourbon and brandy artistry.

Scheduled for debut on March 23, 2026, this product will be celebrated at a special bottle release event taking place at the Copper & Kings Distillery from 6 PM to 9 PM ET. The event will gather Kings supporters, whisky enthusiasts, and partners to commemorate this significant milestone in an atmosphere brimming with excitement and camaraderie.

Exclusive Event Experience

For those eager to be part of the celebration, 150 tickets will be made available for purchase, each ticket securing a bottle of the Kings Inaugural Single Barrel signed by none other than Head Coach Chris Redman. Attendees can expect:

• - Personal admission for the ticket purchaser along with a guest
• - Complimentary food and beverages served throughout the evening
• - A live music performance at the distillery to set the festive mood

The bourbon is priced at $300 per bottle, aiming to be a collector's piece or a premium pour that aligns with the historic launch of the franchise. For the collectors unable to join the event, arrangements are made to secure a bottle with an option for a later pickup at the distillery, depending on availability.

Significance of the Release

Rob Bourdon of Copper & Kings stated, "This is about celebrating the start of something special for Louisville. The Kings' inaugural season deserves a bottle that marks the moment - something rare and memorable, made right here in Louisville." The partnership also designates Copper & Kings as an Official Partner of the Louisville Kings, entwining the distillery brand with the team's identity throughout the season.

Limited Availability

With only 150 total bottles set for release, this inaugural barrel of the Louisville Kings is expected to sell out swiftly. Each bottle serves as a limited collector item, making it one of the rarest releases from Copper & Kings to date. Fans will have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the event via their official website.

Looking Ahead

The excitement doesn’t stop here. The Kings are set to kick off their inaugural season at home on March 27, 2026, hosting the Birmingham Stallions at the Lynn Family Stadium at 8 PM. This event marks the start of a new era in football and promises to bring unparalleled energy and enthusiasm to fans of the sport. Tickets for the game can be purchased through the team's official site, UFLKings.com.
