Copperworks Craft Malt Week 2022 Single Cask review

Tasting Notes

About:

Aged 30 months (that’s 2.5 years), bottled at 120.9 proof, priced around $90.
Appearance:
Caramel-amber coloring with a light red tint, medium-light in the glass.
Nose:
I did not experience the resinous aroma implied by the official tasting notes so much as that of savory herbs, but the nose certainly opens with a rich, green aroma regardless of your interpretation. There are accenting floral notes before the nose builds up into baking spices strong enough to give the nostril a little tingle.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
Well balanced and interesting. An unexpected and unique combination of flavors presents something of a challenge to the palate, but the experience is rewarding. This is exactly what is so exciting about single malt as a category– it is a fantastic way for a distillery to exercise its voice, whether that voice is the stalwart consistency and quality of the well-recognized titans in the category, or the experimental spirit and likely irreplicable results of craft distillation. Here’s to the continued growth of American single malt.
