Copper & Kings Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Apple Brandy Barrels
111 proof Blend of 5-, 10-, and 15-year-old Bourbon Copper & Kings Louisville, KY $60 73–78% corn, 10–21% rye, remainder malted barley
Nose

Well-aged bourbon character; subtle apple brandy influence without overpowering.

Palate

Bourbon-forward with respectful secondary apple brandy influence; slightly rounded edges compared to standard bourbon; spice and depth from the rye-heavy mashbill.

Finish

Elongated by apple brandy barrel influence; soft and lingering without sharp edges; balanced and refined.

Noteworthy
A thoughtfully crafted bourbon that respects the spirit's core identity while adding subtle complexity and length from apple brandy finishing, representing solid value at $60.
