Copper Fox, Chestnut Smoked Whiskey (750ml)
Copper Fox,
Chestnut Smoked Whiskey
48% ABV
This single malt was the first whisky Copper Fox’s founder, Rick Wasmund, ever made, and it remains the distillery’s flagship offering.
While a few finished single malts have been bottled over the years as single barrels, the distillery only just began selecting original, unfinished barrels for release.
This whisky is made from 100% Virginia-grown barley malted with applewood and cherrywood smoke and barreled in ex-bourbon casks with a progressive series of seasoned new and used applewood and oak chips.
Nose: Rich aromas of cinnamon biscuits, sweet pipe tobacco, roasted nuts and maple syrup
Palate: Medium-full body, sweet with an oily mouthfeel; flavours of cinnamon sugar, sweet potato, oatmeal cookies, and seasoned oak.
Finish: Medium-long and warming, notes of toffee and subtle pipe smoke
