Coopers' Craft Barrel Reserve 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Coopers Craft Barrel Reserve has a very nice dark amber color. The aroma is of oak, oak, and some more oak with some caramel, vanilla. There is a alcohol presence here. The legs did not start down the glass for a while and when they started they ran very slow. The taste reminds me of fresh cut wood with quite a bit of alcohol burn on the tongue. The caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla follow. The finish is a medium to long with the oak being the main thing that lingers. If you like big oak then this is the bourbon for you. The tongue burn that normally subsides on most bourbons seems to stick with this one.

Smooth caramel tastes

Very well done bourbon and surely an upgrade in flavor and body compared to original Coopers Craft. Rich with great sweet brown sugar and baking spice note...reminiscent of fresh baked apple pie on the nose plus a terrific dose of wood. On the palate you pick up more of the same, well balanced, easy drinking, very smooth and a medium finish. Great price point too, a great daily driver. Cheers!

A better version of Jefferson’s Twin Oak. Stronger with more flavor. Very good for $30! Definitely worth trying
