Copper & Cask Port Toast-Finished Rye Whiskey
Distillery: Copper & Cask
120.2 proof
Copper & Cask 12 Year Straight Rye Whiskey is a premium sourced rye from a small Indiana distillery, likely MGP. This expression features a distinctive low-rye mash bill of 51% rye, 39% corn, and 10% malted barley, aged for 12 years in new charred American oak barrels. Bottled at a robust 112 proof without dilution to preserve its full intensity, it exemplifies the brand's commitment to highlighting overlooked aged ryes. The whiskey offers a harmonious balance of rye's bold spice and corn's sweetness, with notes of dark fruits, caramel, and baking spices. Non-chill filtered, it delivers a viscous mouthfeel and complex layers that evolve on the palate. Copper & Cask, based in New York, specializes in curating high-proof, aged whiskeys for enthusiasts seeking unique profiles beyond mainstream offerings.
