How It All Started
In 2007, during his son’s first combat deployment, founder Gary Cooper made his son’s favorite whiskey. Having been a fanatical brewer and distiller for over a decade, Gary spent the time his son was deployed to perfect a whiskey to his son’s standard. He named his company after the single black patch his son’s unit wore in combat. Black Patch officially opened its doors for business in 2018 in Madison, Alabama with a variety of products for sale (shown below). In 2025, Black Patch announced new ownership and made the move to Huntsville, Alabama - the Rocket City.
