the evolution of whisky

At Copper Fox Distillery, we blend tradition and innovation to craft exceptional American whisky. Using locally sourced ingredients, we hand-malt our own barley—one of only five U.S. distilleries with a malting floor. Our unique process infuses grain with fruitwood smoke and ages the spirit with fruitwood chips in used bourbon barrels, creating distinctive flavors. When you visit, you can tour our distillery, meet our team, and enjoy whisky tastings. Founded in 2005 by Rick Wasmund, who trained at Scotland’s Bowmore Distillery, we continue to push the boundaries of whisky-making with our signature wood treatments and craftsmanship.
