Copper & Kings ‘Butchertown’ Reserve Casks Brandy Kentucky, USA (750 ml)

DISTILLERY NOTES:

Appearance: dark brown, golden mahogany. Slightly viscous.

Aroma: strongly reminiscent of superior whiskey and Kentucky bourbon. Blackberry fruit, with hints of cherry.

Taste: fabulous brandy start, bold, robust, strong whiskey notes with brandy fruit coming forth towards the back end. Rollicking, rock n roll almost rye whiskey like on the mid-palate, joyous. Superb structure and backbone. High proof chewy. Hints of Irish pot-still fruity whiskey. Stone-fruit peaches, dark cherry in the surround sound.

Finish: slight tannic, oaky dryness, lingers on the tongue. Velvety smooth (and approachable), especially for high proof spirit.
