My dad and I visited here a while ago and I just killed the bottle I purchased from Copper Run. Their honey whiskey is one of the top honey whiskeys I have had as they put a lot of thought into how they wanted it to taste. It's a small distillery, but if you go for a tasting and a tour, you won't be let down in the least. It's a really cool spread they put on and you can choose from multiple kinds of alcohol to try - rum, moonshine, bourbon, and whiskey.

If you like true moonshine, rum or whiskey, this place is an absolute must!!! The tour was very interesting, and you can tell their employees have a passion for quality spirits. My wife (who hates whiskey) absolutely loved their whiskey. We bought to bottles after the tour and tasting. I could brag on each of the 6 we tried, but the Small Batch Honey was an amazing surprise. Unlike the big brand "honey" whiskeys, you can clearly taste the true, local honey that they use in their Small Batch Honey Whiskey. Truly some of the smoothest spirits I have tasted in a long time, if not ever! The Overproofed Ozark Moonshine was smoother than most store brand tequilas. If you enjoy any of the spirits that they make, do yourself and favor and take the free tour and free tasting. Then buy a few bottle. We did, and the flavors were just as good as they were their at the distillery.

We checked out Copper Run during our visit to Branson. We took a very short tour, and then got a chance to sample the spirits. My favorite from the spirit flight was the spiced rum. I am not a fan of overproof alcohol, so those were my least favorite. We also had an infusion flight. The honey roasted peanut was my favorite- we ordered it based on the recommendations of our server. Service was very friendly- I'm glad we stopped by! Also, they have a shuttle that runs back and forth with the winery nearby- such a great idea!

A beautiful distillery with free tours and very friendly staff. Very enjoyable place to be with a relaxing atmosphere and many spirits to taste.

Nice little distillery, part of the Missouri spirit expedition!! Don't know if they do free tasting like most distilleries do, but you get a lot for a 10 $ flight!

Tasting bar

Is there anything free these days??? Yes! Take the distillery tour and then taste up to three for free. Great small batch bourbon!

Even though my husband and I are traveling with our 15 mo old son and I'm pregnant, that didn't stop us from taking a tour of the Distillery. I was more interested in the tasting area as there were tons of rustic finds and bottled goodness to enjoy. My husband and other participants sampled moonshine, rum and whiskey. The staff was very nice and approachable. While I couldn't partake in spirits for obvious reasons, they did have really good homemade sodas to try.

A friend recommended C.R. as a fun little place that's out of the way, and she was right. It was slow in the bar area when we arrived, and not what I'd call a 'bar scene' where regulars come to hang out & drink on a daily basis. It was quite wholesome and I would not be afraid to bring children here on a short visit. The customers I saw were mostly there to view the distillery and in and out pretty quick, like at a shop. However, on the weekends they have a band, so they must have their busy times then. There was a fire pit outside with seating, and a smoker off to the side of the building. We were warmly greeted at the bar and received free samples of different spirits, cheerfully poured, which were distilled, aged & bottled on the premises. I particularly liked the moonshine, which was very like a nice white tequila, and the flavorful dark rum. The room was clean & cozy, with a few antiques around, but not kitschy. There is plenty of seating on the sunny front porch (and a dog or two to pet), and also a shady back deck which overlooks the edge of the woods. It was pleasant, homey, a great place to kick back & spend some time. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable about their product. Tours of the still-room are every 1/2 hour, in the basement of the building. The still area was very small & I was surprised to see just how tiny an operation could support the owners and employees. The tour was brief, informal & interesting. Questions were welcome & the guide was glad to discuss different points of production with my Dad (who was a bootlegger in a Muslim country 40 years ago) as long as he cared to. They do not serve meals here, but there are 4 or 5 options of Mediterranean style appetizers; I would love to back and enjoy some!

The Spirit Flight with added Bourbon.

Awesome stop on the Missouri Spirits Expedition! Live music and great setting. If you're close make sure you stop by and check them out!

Flight of seven, one-ounce pours for only $10.

This is an excellent activity to do in Branson away from all the cheesy shows giving you a chance…read moreto enjoy some of the regional wines and a historic distillery while taking in the sites. Tour is very well organized. The Bear Creek Winery is in an amazing location with great views from the deck. Driver was very friendly although I'd recommend being proactive about asking questions about the area as the tasting and dinner is the focus, this isn't a sightseeing tour per se outside the 4 stops. Dinner was downtown in the new area of Branson and food and service were good but not "gourmet" about what you'd expect as this isn't a foodie tour. You have a choice of chicken, steak, or salmon. Given the reasonable price for the whole experience though, if you are a steak connoisseur I'd skip the steak, not bad at all, but the Salmon and Chicken are in my opinion better options if you are finicky about your steak.

We had 9 people to tour the second weekend in December. They were able to get us a driver and van…read morebut had to pay for a private tour due to our group size. For the price (just under $700) the tour was not worth it. A lot of lights were out during our drive thru at Great Wolf Lodge. We then went through the Joy lights that were pirate themed. Not impressed with either display. At one of the gingerbread stops, our group went to grab some waters/soda, when I informed our driver, she said she had bottled water the whole time. On our way back to our drop off location, we experienced a blown tire. Our driver tried contacting her company and she said no one would answer her. I ended up texting the owner informing him that we were on the side of the road with a flat and no one would answer to help her. I received no response but moments after the texts were sent, our driver received a phone call. My husband and brother in law ended up changing the tire so we could be on our way. Our driver told us the owner would be in contact to "take care of the incident and help she received from our group". A week after the tour, I had to reach out to the company because I did not hear from them. The owner Joe called and had a list of excuses as to why he didn't reach out. He also told me that when he received word of us on the side of the road, he had to step out of a show he was viewing while on vacation with his wife. He told me he fired our driver and she had our contact information. He didn't want to tell me how much he would refund so he didn't insult us. he wanted us to tell him how much we wanted. After discussing with our group, we decided on a reimbursement amount and I texted Joe (the owner). We came upon an amount by saving someone from changing the tire and also not missing our driver's second tour that evening. My second text was to confirm he could just refund my credit card and not mail a check and he said yes. Another week goes by with no credit card refund. I texted the owner again and he finally says he can't refund us the amount we decided on but could give us half of what we requested. He'd also refund us our credit card fee. When I asked if he had my card info, he said yes from our initial registration. Ironic that he now has my info but didn't when it came time to reach out to us initially. If you do utilize this company, hopefully everything goes smoothly so you don't have to deal with the owner to settle things. Good luck!

We enjoyed our drinks and the BBQ was good. Our server was great! Very friendly and attentive. Afterwards, we wondered the store and were pleasantly surprised they do sample tastings of their alcohol. It helped us decide what flavor of moonshine we bought. Only negative: The coffee. My husband and I love coffee but unfortunately we are strictly decaf coffee drinkers (I know I know, it's sad). The owner does not make decaf at all. We were told why and while we understand the why, it is a bummer we couldn't enjoy in the morning nor buy coffee beans to take home.

We had breakfast-garden goat loaded with mushrooms, spinach, goat cheese, tomatoes. Side of varied fruits, wheat toast.
