Copper Tongue 16 Year Bourbon

1 oz blind sample. Nose: it’s subtle. Kind of difficult to pull notes from. Smokiness, light oak. Reminds me of the Eric Church JD sample I got a short while ago. Palate: spicy - like cinnamon/all spice. Granny Smith apple. Kind of hard to pull notes from again. Finish: medium in length. Slight spice dances around the cheeks which I enjoy. Bit dry which I find those green apples to be. Finish is probably my favorite part of this one. Proof: on the lower end. ~95 Overall: very good - a cut above.

After letting this bottle sit for a few months. It opened up beautifully! I’m still not crazy about the nose. On the palate I get a beautiful almond butter note coupled with a velvety texture. With a medium long finish.
