Orphan Barrel 16 Year Old "Copper Tongue" Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Copper Tongue is a blend of two separate 16 year old lots of bourbon distilled and aged at Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. (the home of George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey). The whiskey was discovered by Cascade Hollow’s General Manager and Head Distiller Nicole Austin. Copper Tongue is released at cask strength, which means the bourbon lowered in proof during its time aging in the barrels.

Orphan Barrel 16 Year Old "Copper Tongue" Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Light smoke combines with cornbread and barrel char to form a delicate base of scents on initial inhale. A stronger pull reveals green apple, a touch of cinnamon, and leather. The overall aroma is quite subtle, with an emphasis on smoke and leather. It’s pleasant, but not otherwise notable.

Palate: Aged oak and baking spice are dominant and immediate. Rolling the whiskey around in the mouth allows a light fruity note to come through, which is accented by persistent baking spice. It has a strangely thin yet at the same time creamy, a seemingly impossible combination and not a common one either

Finish: Medium in length, the finish maintains - neither adding or detracting from the overall experience.
