Our Process
Want to know how long our whisky is aged? Take a sip and imagine.
The owner of Founding Fathers Distillery, Jeff, sought to create a new way of distilling, his way of distilling. One that is not bound by tradition and not steeped in the bias that the more time a whisky spends in a barrel, the better it is. At Founding Fathers Distillery, we “Dance With The Spirits”. We believe in quality over quantity which is why we produce Single Barrel, Small Batch runs and only use the finest ingredients and yeasts tailored specifically to our processes.
Barley
We use high-quality, American-sourced grain. Barley produces a beautiful spirit with amazing flavors and aromas. This is where Cooper’s Cut begins.
Yeast
The yeast strains we use are specifically designed for our grain in order to balance the ester concentrations and add floral and fruity aromas to the overall character and complexity of the spirit.
Water
A deep Artesian aquifer running under and through American History provides the crystalline water used in the entire process.
Oak
The entire process involves several sciences and engineering, but The Art Is In The Oak. We primarily use New American White Oak with a secondary exposure to French Oak, charred and toasted to achieve a broad and complex three-dimensional flavor profile. Considered among the finest Whiskies judged for Quality, Flavor, Body, Smoothness, and Complexity, Cooper’s Cut is consistently ranked as “The best Whisky I have ever had!” Pour a glass and imagine.
