Copper Dome Whiskey Presidential Reserve Vol. II

Honoring Dr. Kenneth Dobbins, 17th President of Southeast Missouri State University

Copper Dome Whiskey proudly unveils Presidential Reserve – Volume II, a tribute to the leadership and legacy of Dr. Kenneth Dobbins, Southeast Missouri State University's 17th President (1999–2015).

For the first time in Copper Dome history, this commemorative release features a 100% Wheat Single Barrel Whiskey, selected for its uncommon depth, elegance, and character. Aged to perfection and bottled at a robust 116 proof, this cask-strength expression showcases the full voice of the barrel unfiltered, undiluted, and unapologetically distinctive.

The wheat mash bill delivers a remarkably layered profile, offering rich sweetness, rounded structure, and a finish that lingers with quiet confidence. It is a whiskey that mirrors the qualities President Dobbins embodied throughout his tenure: steady leadership, conviction without excess, and an unwavering commitment to opening doors for future generations.

The bottle bears the inscription "First Generation Legacy," honoring Dr. Dobbins' lifelong dedication to first-generation college students and his belief that opportunity has the power to change families, not just individuals.

With fewer than 80 bottles reaching retail shelves in late June 2026, this release stands among the rarest offerings ever produced under the Copper Dome Whiskey banner.
