Copper & Cask 8-Year Double Oak Bourbon Whiskey Batch 014

Big flavor meets patient craft. Batch 014 blends 19 MGP bourbon barrels, featuring mash bills that range from 21% to 36% rye for layered spice and depth. Here’s the twist. After eight years, the blend was re-casked into new American Oak Wave Stave barrels for at least ten months to amplify caramel, toast, and texture. It roars at 60.1% ABV (120.2 proof), yet it drinks composed—sweet oak, fruit candy, and warm baking spice ride over a dry, gently charred backbone. Add a drop of water. Aromas broaden, cinnamon brightens, and the double-oak polish turns velvet.

Nose: Fudge and orange peel pop first, then fruit candy, hot cinnamon, mild barrel char, and a hint of mesquite-like smoke.

Palate: Cherry and blackberry glide into caramel, toasted oak, clove, and vanilla; dry spice firms the mid-palate without harshness.

Finish: Long and warming. Spiced sweetness, gentle char, and lingering citrus-tinged oak bid a slow goodbye.

Start bold. Smoked brisket or pepper-crusted ribeye echoes char and rye spice in thrilling harmony.
Go sweet next. Dark chocolate tart or pecan pie mirrors caramel, fudge, and toasted-nut tones with luxurious ease.
Try cheese last. Aged Gouda or clothbound cheddar cuts the proof, letting fruit and oak sing.
