Coopers' Craft Original 82.2 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon

*Edit: This review is of the 100 proof Chiseled and charred release I get a fair amount of citrus, a bit of underripe apple, and cinnamon on the smell. The taste is sweeter than the nose, but the citrus is very present. There’s some vanilla, and ginger. The finish is a bit of citrus pith, somewhat bitter. There’s toasted wood, as well as more tannic wood notes. It is a decent whiskey, there’s plenty of what we expect from bourbon, but also some unique flavors that keep it interesting. A note on the bottle, this bottle seems purpose built to be a decanter, or infinity bottle. Smell: 15/20 First sip: 21/30 Following taste and finish: 20/25 Esthetics and Value: 18/20 I will give 3/5 of my subjective points as it is an interesting expression. Total: 77/100

I get honey and apple in the nose. Taste is vanilla and sugar.

Good for $26 or $28

I was pleasantly surprised. A low priced bottle. Very mellow and easy to sip. Not especially flavorful, but very easy to keep drinking all night. Would buy again.
