Koopers Whiskey Debuts Father’s Office Cigar Blend Bourbon, Combining Brazilian Amburana and Japanese Mizunara Finishes

LEDBETTER, Texas (June 2, 2026) — Premium American whiskey brand Koopers Whiskey is introducing a special cigar blend bourbon just in time for Father’s Day. As American whiskey producers increasingly experiment with intriguing aging and finishing techniques, Koopers Whiskey is releasing Father’s Office Cigar Blend Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a limited-edition whiskey that combines Brazilian Amburana and Japanese Mizunara oak finishes, giving it exceptional complexity and character. This ideal gift for fathers and whiskey enthusiasts alike will be available in limited quantities beginning Saturday, June 13, 2026, at the Koopers Whiskey tasting room in Ledbetter, Texas, as well as for online purchase, with presale orders starting June 2.

Father’s Office Cigar Blend Bourbon is inspired by long conversations, cigar culture, and slow sipping. Koopers Whiskey has built a reputation for pushing boundaries through innovative blending techniques. Distilled in Indiana, further aged and blended in Texas, and bottled at a robust 114 proof, this bourbon exemplifies that philosophy.

Father’s Office Cigar Blend Straight Bourbon was aged for eight years in new, charred American white oak barrels, including six years in the Texas climate. The finishing process incorporates Brazilian Amburana oak staves for seven weeks and Japanese Mizunara oak staves for twelve weeks. Brazilian Amburana imparts cinnamon, baking spice, and dessert notes, and Japanese Mizunara oak adds delicate spice, sandalwood, and exotic oak character. Together, these elements create a harmonious blend of aromatics, bold spice, warm sweetness, and full-bodied oak structure for a memorable sipping experience suited for slow pours and late-night conversations.

The nose opens with inviting aromas of cinnamon sugar, vanilla custard, sandalwood, orange peel, and cigar-box oak. The palate delivers a harmonious blend of caramel, toffee, cinnamon toast, peppery rye spice, incense, and oak. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of toasted coconut, dark chocolate, and pipe tobacco.

“Father’s Office, like a cigar, is made for sharing,” says Troy Kooper, Master Blender at Koopers Whiskey. “It’s about slowing down, spending meaningful time with someone who matters to you, and appreciating the evolving layers of flavor through deep conversation. Amburana and Mizunara gave us tools to add spice, warmth, and complexity without overpowering the bourbon itself.”

The label artwork on Koopers’ limited-edition Father’s Office Cigar Blend Bourbon features a rugged cowboy locked in a fierce encounter with a mountain lion, symbolizing strength and perseverance that perfectly mirror the bourbon’s bold character and untamed spirit.
