Both come from Copper \u0026amp; Cask, the Rhode Island bottler that sources mature MGP bourbon and blends it under Barrel Master Stephen Corrigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper \u0026amp; Cask \"X\" is the straight-ahead half. It's made from 45 barrels of 10- to 12-year-old bourbon, built from two recipes: 21% rye and 36% rye. No finishing cask touched it. What comes through is aged American oak at full strength: chocolate, caramel, toasted wood, and a cherry cola lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBatch 017 was built with a cigar in mind. Nine-year MGP bourbon rested at least nine months in a mix of Oloroso sherry, tawny port, Cognac and Armagnac casks. Some of those brandy casks had held 20- to 25-year-old French spirit. The finish layers plum, fruitcake, and walnut over the bourbon base and closes on dry tobacco leaf, a natural match for a maduro wrapper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eX sits at 116.4 proof and Batch 017 at 118.4, both uncut and non-chill filtered. Pour X with a milder Connecticut-wrapped cigar or before lighting up; save Batch 017 for the darker smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"faq-1\" data-lfile-container=\"fe1201a5-a9aa-4ee3-9aa8-98197867caab\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Copper \u0026amp; Cask Batch 017 a cigar bourbon?\u003c\/strong\u003e It was blended for cigar pairing. Nine-year MGP bourbon was finished for at least nine months in Oloroso sherry, tawny port, Cognac and Armagnac casks, giving dark fruit, walnut and tobacco notes that match a maduro cigar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Copper \u0026amp; Cask X finished in another cask?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. X is a straight bourbon blended from 45 barrels of 10- to 12-year-old stock with no secondary finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich cigar goes with each bottle?\u003c\/strong\u003e X suits a milder Connecticut-shade cigar or a pour before lighting up.
