Our Story

Born from a love of Maine and a curiosity for the craft

The Copper Penny Distillery started with a simple question: what happens when you take the patience of a master distiller and plant it in the rich soil of southern Maine? The answer is every bottle we pour.

We source locally grown grains where possible, draw from Maine's pure spring water, and let time do what it does best. Our small-batch approach means every run is monitored by hand, every barrel chosen with care, and every pour reflects the character of this place we call home.
