Jose-Massu-Espinel

Copper Sky Light Whiskey 16 Year

Other Whiskey — Colorado , USA

Reviewed May 2, 2023 (edited May 7, 2023)
3.5
3.5 out of 5 stars
What in the world have i just tasted? This is, by far, the whiskey with the highest abv i have ever had. "LIGHT WHISKEY" by Copper Sky distillery is one powerful dram, and of course, i am a purist so i took it neat. Bottled at 70.1%abv (yes, you read that right), this is a 16yo american whiskey. On the nose, it starts with a rye whiskey note, white chocolate, maize and a fresh field. Fresh berries and strawberries. On the palate, this is plutonium, the fuel of the DeLorean from back to the future. Red fruits, cotton candy. Too powerful, not bad. Aftertaste has only two notes: Red fruitiness and red peppers. Overall, this was not the worst whiskey in the world, but i expected tons of flavor layers due to the high strength but it was really simple, straightforward and boring. It is not "undrinkable" despite the high abv, but it is not worth your time. My score here is 70 over 100.

    @Jose-Massu-Espinel I think these Light whiskeys were so named because they were matured in used barrels (like single malts) , so the color wasn’t as prominent. Probably for mixing. I did have an amazing Light whiskey, Proof and Wood 100 Seasons. If you see that anywhere, buy on sight.
