Copper & Kings American Brandy Co. is continuing its US distribution expansion. It has appointed new distribution partners for its American Brandy and Absinthe spirits in two pivotal Atlantic markets: New York and Washington D.C. This new partnership gets this barely year old craft spirits distiller into a total of 19 states plus D.C.
The company will partner with Charmer-Sunbelt Group’s Empire Merchants of New York and Ledroit Brands in Washington D.C.

“We’ve been moving at a helluva pace,” said founder Joe Heron. “We have reached a place where we feel that we are capable and competent enough to handle the significant challenge that is New York and New York City itself. We would only do that with the right partner, and Empire is the right partner for us – they care about the juice, they care about their customers and they respect passion, creativity and a competitive spirit. And they have the scale to help us leverage the opportunity in NYC itself.”

“It’s all about distribution, and great distribution partners,” said senior vice president of commercial operations Shane Rietow. “Empire is outstanding and Ledroit brings a level of excellence of execution that lives comfortably in the top tier. The Eastern seaboard to Washington D.C. has been our focus and we have made excellent progress. We are close to our end game now.”
The company has realigned wholesale partners in the state of Wisconsin with the appointment of Capitol-Husting to manage distribution for the entire state.
