Copper Fox Dawson's Reserve Bourbon Whiskey
90 proof 4 years Bourbon Copper Fox Distillery Sperryville, VA $62.99 60% corn, 20% wheat, 20% hand-malted barley
Nose

Peach and apricot notes, very sweet with corn sweetness, light smoke barely apparent, stone fruit forward, reminiscent of Irish whiskey or scotch characteristics

Palate

Stone fruit forward with peach notes, very light and not viscous, no spice, slight stickiness with good texture, sweet profile more aligned with malted whiskey than traditional weeded bourbon

Finish

Medium finish, not overly long

Above average
A high-malt weeded bourbon with distinctive peach and stone fruit character from peachwood-smoked Virginia barley, showing impressive transparency in its craft production and making it a worthwhile spring sipper for those who appreciate heavily malted whiskeys.
