Limited Edition Copper Bob Bourbon Released

If you've been looking for an interesting bottle (or bottles) to add to your bourbon collection, Copper Bob Bourbon collaboration of Isanti Spirits with artist Bob White is one to consider.  There are four bottles in the full set that feature artwork by Bob White on each bottle.  Bottles can be purchased individually and the 15-year bourbon chosen was distilled at the Bardstown Bourbon Company.  There are only 100 of each bottle artwork in this limited edition release.

Bob White wrote...  "Copper Bob Bourbon is the result of a creative partnership between Bob White and Rick Schneider, artists and adventurers.

 

Rick began his distilling career in 2010 studying at Dry Fly Distilling in Spokane, Washington. Rick and his wife Nikki founded Isanti Spirits in 2013, and began distilling on their rural Isanti, Minnesota property in 2015.

 

Rick searched the country for a special whiskey to bottle for Copper Bob Bourbon, eventually choosing a rare 15-year-old Kentucky Bourbon, distilled by the Bardstown Distillery. This was no easy task as the growth of the craft distilling industry has generated intense competition for special barrels.

 

Copper Bob Bourbon is named after the Copper Bob Nymph, a fly I designed in 1988. If we've fished together, you no doubt have a few in your fly box. The four labels on Copper Bob Bourbon are some of my favorite paintings. I hope you'll enjoy them.

 

I began guiding fly fishermen in Alaska in 1984 and Argentina the following year. Lisa and I still fish and host trips to both destinations. I believe that artists should paint what they know and love. The images I create depict fishermen I've known, the fish they pursue, and the environs we cherish.

Each label is limited to 100 bottles.  All bottles come in a custom wood box engraved with my signature Copper Bob Nymph.  Individual bottles with your choice of label are $400.00 each (price includes shipping).  The first 25 bottles include an original pencil drawing of the Copper Bob!"

The complete set of four labels is $1500.00 (price includes shipping). All sets include a full-size drawing of a Copper Bob drawn just for you and shipped free of charge from BobWhite Studio.

Due to the limited nature of this rare bourbon, it will not be offered online. Interested parties should contact Rick Schneider at 763-333-6447 or email to order at rick@isantispirits.com.
