Coopers' Craft Barrel Reserve 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 30, 2021 (edited July 18, 2021)Light color, clean nose (mostly alcohol) Thin mouthfeel Mid palette baking spice / black pepper / cedar (tannic), quick finish with light Big Red chewing gum With small cube Light leather nose / maybe Tobacco With the cube it becomes almost lighter than water heavy cinnamon light vanilla again quick finish with of lavender and leather. The finish almost is drying in the mouth. Needs the cube to come alive but even at 100 proof it’s too thin to go much more than a single small cube too much ice and I think everything washes away. Interesting this Mash Bill: 72% Corn, 18% Rye, 10% Malted Barley because the baking spice / pepper is so strong I would have pegged this with more rye. Other reviews mention this as super complex with a medium mouth feel, but I just don’t see it. Overall easy drinker wouldn’t hunt for it but wouldn’t walk away. -
Chocolate on the nose Dark chocolate, tannic spice finish. Quick finish to almost flat Thin mouth feel might be due to lower proof 80. Dark leather brown color With ice Heavy baking spice / clove flavor almost floral to watery ink. Strange mouth feel Most likely due to the additional port added to the blend. This would probably be great at a higher proof.
