Copper Fox Original, 45%

Price: 45 Issue: Spring 2022 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Rye Whiskey


Ripe fruits and cooked peaches on the nose, a hint of pipe tobacco, earth, and ash, with notes of smoke and barrel char. The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with sweet tobacco, leather, and stone fruit. The finish is lengthy and spiced, with more barrel char and leather, honey, ripe fruit, and a hint of smoke. Needs time to mellow in the glass, and then becomes complex and engaging. (13,000 bottles)
