Exclusive to Grain & Copper
Our barrel pick priorities.
One barrel. One label. Poured only here. When a Grain & Copper barrel pick is on the shelf, you won't find it anywhere else in Northwest Houston.
Tasting Flights
Three pours. One conversation.
A flight is the best way to learn whiskey. Three pours at 0.75 oz each — side by side, same glass, same conditions — lets you compare and contrast in a way that a single pour never can.
Build Your Own
Choose any three from Entry or Mid tier. Ask your bartender for help — they'll build you a narrative.
Curated Flights
Ask your bartender for a recommendation. Texas vs. Kentucky. Scotch regions. Japanese vs. Irish. We'll build it.
