Copper Fox Rye Cognac Barrel Finished

The aroma offers little insight into this spirit. Upon the first sip on the tongue, there's a hint of fruit, and then... the palate is violently set ablaze, obliterating all other flavors until the finish, which, fittingly, is dominated by smoke. Sigh. I am confident the individuals at Copper Fox possess considerable skill and the potential for great achievements. However, this dram falls short.

Of the four pours this was the most drinkable. The Rye notes really come out and lots of wood smoke.

Smooth and smoky with a fantastic finish. Perfect for sipping by the fire.

Among the top 3 I've ever had.
