Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Cloudless, glowing amber.
Nose:
Sweet and youthful, dominated by fresh pear and apple aromas.
Palate:
Only slightly less youthful—still quite sweet and smokeless. Heavy on caramel and vanilla with a hint of pipe tobacco, pepper, and cinnamon-apple-flavored oatmeal. It’s well-balanced overall, but not remarkable in any particular way. Conclusion: The bourbon is fine, if not special. In any case, I’m impressed with the operation and eager to get my hands on their more recent concoctions, which do sound like very worthwhile projects. FINAL SCORE: 84/100 [SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF COPPER CITY BOURBON]
