Copper & Kings American Craft Brandy

Willet single barrel: fruity nose. Fruity flavor with notes of oak. Oaky finish. Three stars. Heaven Hill single barrel: oaky flavor with notes of fruit. Oaky fruity finish that is intense. Three stars.

The nose gives subtle wafts of fruit and oak leading to an expansion of these flavors on the palate. You're greeted with grape, and raisin notes which fade rapidly without too much sweetness. Afterward the barrel shines: cedar, vanilla, char, cinnamon, and a tannin finish dominate before disappearing somewhat unceremoniously. Certainly a dry and wood-driven experience.
