This September, raise a glass to coming home with Koopers Whiskey’s The Prodigal Son Bourbon in celebration of Bourbon Heritage Month. (NOTE: This product recently received a new label design for a fresh look. A limited number of media samples are available upon request in exchange for product coverage/review.)
The Prodigal Son is a four-grain, sour mash bourbon whiskey crafted from a complex blend of four Kentucky Straight Bourbons aged 4, 4, 6, and 6 years and expertly blended in small batches. Its name and spirit are inspired by the biblical story of the Prodigal Son, in which a father welcomes his son’s return with a celebration.
Because sooner or later, after chasing adventures and finding ourselves far from where we started, we all come home. And when you do, there’s only one thing left to do: make merry and be glad.
For Texans, that idea of coming home carries a meaning all its own. Home is more than a place—it’s where our roots run deep, where we know who we are, and where the best stories and celebrations begin. The Prodigal Son celebrates the journey back: embracing your roots, staying true to who you are, and raising a glass to the people and places that made you.
Rich, nuanced, and made for sharing, The Prodigal Son is a celebration bourbon perfect for Bourbon Heritage Month—and every occasion worth coming home for.
The Prodigal Son is available for purchase online, at the Koopers Whiskey tasting room (100 West U.S. 290, Ledbetter, TX 78945), and at select retailers.
