Meet The Makers: Copper Cannon Distillery

Copper Cannon Distillery


Situated in West Chesterfield, New Hampshire, Copper Cannon is a family-owned, premium distillery that offers fun and engaging experiences during its tours and tastings!

It all started back in 2010 when Blake Amacker and his cousin Chris Arnold were touring distilleries in Ireland. It didn’t take long for the duo, who were engineers by trade, to realize that “Hey, we could do this ourselves!”. Fueled by Blake’s experience as a homebrewer and Chris’s experience on both sides of the bar, they were able to take their passion to the next level. After years of painstaking research, hands-on learning, and a boatload of experimentations, Copper Cannon Distillery was born!

Choose from a selection of delicious aged and maple rums during one of your next visits. They offer free tours and tastings and are open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you can’t make it to West Chesterfield, visit your nearest NH Liquor & Wine Outlet and pick up a bottle of their Maple Rum!

Can’t make it this summer? Blake joined us as part of a virtual panel discussion, watch the replay here.
