Copper and Kings American Craft Grape Brandy
90 Proof
Blend of 6, 7, and 8-year-old vintages
Brandy
Copper and Kings Distillery
Blend of Chenin Blanc, French Columbard, and Muscat Alexandria grapes
Nose
Nice fruity nose with grapes coming through, especially the Muscat on the forefront. The Chenin Blanc gives buttery notes while the Columbard provides citrus zips.
Palate
Very smooth with a viscous feel in the mouth that doesn't seem like 90 proof. It has a buttery coating on the tongue and hangs on the mid-palate with barrel notes coming across nicely.
Finish
The finish is softer and more round with red fruits and stone fruits showing up, lingering for quite some time on the back note.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-crafted American brandy that balances fruit and barrel notes beautifully, proving to be a solid spirit that drinks better than its proof suggests.
