Last year, we reviewed two of Kooper Family Whiskey’s offerings: the Kooper Family Rye and Sweetehart of the Rodeo Bourbon, and related the story about how the company was founded. Back in 2012, Troy and Michelle Kooper wanted to go into business together to create something that Troy could do from home, in order to spend more time with his wife and new baby: Why not whiskey?
Fronks ‘Nog: The best local nut milk, just got a little better. For the vegans in your life, this vegan eggnog is the perfect gift. Just add bourbon or brandy, and you’ve got a delicious boozy vegan nog for the holidays.
Kooper Family’s Sweetheart of the Rodeo Bourbon: This is my favorite whiskey to gift because it’s smooth, has the perfect balance of vanilla and oak, and the branding is eye-catching. It’s a small distillery (based in Ledbetter, Texas) run by husband-and-wife team Troy and Michelle Kooper, who humbly make some of the best sipping and cocktail-friendly rye and bourbon. I’ll be giving a bottle to my brothers-in-law this year.
