Kooper’s Whiskey is gearing up to release Sweetheart of the Rodeo Bourbon, a bold and expressive Kentucky‑inspired American bourbon that showcases the brand’s signature blend of craftsmanship, character, and frontier‑style storytelling. Bottled at a confident 45% ABV, this small‑batch bourbon is designed for drinkers who appreciate a smooth, approachable whiskey with depth, warmth, and a classic oak‑driven profile.

Sweetheart of the Rodeo Bourbon highlights Kooper’s commitment to traditional bourbon aging, careful barrel selection, and a flavor profile built around caramelized sugars, toasted oak, subtle spice, and a lingering sweetness that nods to its namesake. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the backbone of a premium cocktail, this release aims to deliver a balanced, crowd‑pleasing bourbon experience.

Packaged in 750ml bottles, Kooper’s Whiskey Sweetheart of the Rodeo Bourbon stands as a standout addition to the brand’s growing lineup, appealing to collectors, bourbon enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a well‑crafted American whiskey with a memorable identity.


About Koopers Whiskey:



Koopers Whiskey (formally Kooper Family Whiskey Co.) is a family-owned blending house based in Ledbetter, Texas, that specializes in aging and blending sourced whiskeys to create unique flavor profiles. Founded in 2012 by Troy and Michelle Kooper, the company distinguishes itself by “transforming” high-quality American whiskeys from partners in Indiana and Tennessee through maturation in the volatile Texas climate.

Core Products and Flavor Profiles
Koopers focuses on blending and finishing rather than distilling raw spirit, often using custom barrel programs and limestone-filtered spring water.

Kooper Family Rye: Their flagship product, featuring a label of Troy’s grandfather, a 1944 Armed Forces boxing champion. Profile: Notes of rye spice, raisins, apples, and dill with a sweet caramel apple finish.
Sweetheart of the Rodeo Bourbon: A 90-proof “high-rye” bourbon distilled in Indiana and aged for 4+ years in Texas. Profile: Sweet vanilla, toasted maple syrup, caramel, and citrus.
Barrel Reserve / Specialty Releases: High-proof or finished expressions, such as Runaway Rye (aged 8+ years) and Cognac Cask Finished Rye.  

Visiting and Availability
The company operates a barrel house and tasting room in Ledbetter, located along the US-290 corridor between Austin and Houston.

Tasting Room: Guests can enjoy whiskey flights, craft cocktails, and exclusive bottle releases that are not distributed to stores.

Retail: Their main line is distributed throughout Texas at major spirit retailers like Total Wine & More and Spec’s.

Direct Shipping: Bottles can be purchased directly from the Koopers Whiskey official website for shipping within Texas and to select other states.
