Louisville-based Copper & Kings American Brandy Co. announced the sale of a minority equity stake to Constellation Brands, a leading international producer of beer, wine and spirits. “In all honesty, there could not be a better fit between a small craft distiller and a leader in the beverage alcohol industry like Constellation Brands,” said Copper & Kings Founder and CEO Joe Heron. “There are not only significant synergies in supply chain, but also a shared culture of entrepreneurship, and most importantly an overlapping culture of innovation and social responsibility.”
