Copperworks American Single Malt (Release No. 030)

From Copperworks’ website, “Released in June 2020, this whiskey offers aromas of toffee and ripe fruit, followed by plum and a pleasant smokiness. Entry flavors of walnut, baking spices, and red tea lead to more fruit (plum and tropical), with a finish of cocoa, papaya, and a slight minty finish.” This might be their best release yet.

Toffee, vanilla, coconut on the nose. Flavors of baking spice and brown sugar. Finish of tropical fruits, menthol, and bitter cocoa. Delightful!

Cognac just tastes like cough syrup to me, and the cognac finish really comes through on this dram. If you like cognac you’ll love this one.
