Copperworks Hair of the Dog Adam Whiskey review

Tasting Notes

About:

100 proof (50% ABV), 100% malted barley, 750 ml bottle MSRP $89.99.
Appearance:
Tawny.
Nose:
The nose offers notes of green pepper, spice, and tangy orange citrus, with sweet floral notes, and hints of juicy raisins and molasses.
Palate:
On the palate are flavors of spicy green grass, toffee, cinnamon, and subtle hints of chocolate covered raisins.
Finish:
Comments:
This is a light to medium bodied whiskey that offers a smooth and slightly syrupy sweet texture that gently coats the tongue with enticing spicy and floral character notes. Despite the high proof it’s a very approachable, easy sipper. The relatively broad flavor profile is well-balanced and delivers a moderate finish with notes of raw grains on the back end.
