Copper & Kings Brandy Single Barrel Select

Flaviar Single Barrel Selection 2019 Release An intense, Single Barrel Brandy from the founders of Copper & Kings Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. It's made with a combination of 60% French Colombard, 30% Chenin Blanc & 10% Muscat de Alexandrie; slow distilled at low temperatures in copper pot-stills. It rests for 6 years in ex-Bourbon medium-char American White Oak barrels and is finished for an additional 21 months in Sierra Nevada Ovila Quad barrels before being bottled at 55.5% ABV. (Ovila Quad is a Belgian-style Abbey Ale brewed with monks from New Clairvaux, created specifically for Flaviar.) It presents an aromatic beginning with hints of yeast, banana, clove, allspice, mulling spice, cinnamon, dried raisins, dates & walnut; followed by a bold & spicy middle with notes of dried red fruits, cinnamon, subtle honey, toffee, clove, dark cherry, blackberry, apricot, peach, butter & baked sweet bread; concluding with a long & dry end featuring notes of toasted oak, flowers, vanilla & tannins.
