90 Proof
48 Months
High-Malt Wheated Bourbon
Copper Fox Distillery
$62.99
60% corn, 20% wheat, 20% hand-malted Virginia barley
Nose
Prominent peach and fresh apricot notes with subtle stone fruit character, likely from the high barley content rather than aggressive smoke; sweet with a little pungent peach sweetness.
Palate
Stone fruit forward with light smoke, very different from traditional wheated bourbons; reminiscent of heavily malted American whiskeys or Irish whiskey with good texture and stickiness from the pot still distillation, not viscous or spicy.
Finish
Medium and clean with excellent texture from the pot still distillation process.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A high-malt wheated bourbon that defies traditional expectations with peach and stone fruit notes, exceptional transparency, and impressive craft production from Virginia-sourced materials.
