Copper and Cask Small Batch Series 7-Year Double Oak Bourbon Batch 007

A little background

Copper & Cask Small Batch Series 7-Year Double Oak Bourbon is a blend of 16 carefully selected seven-year-old Bourbon barrels, all sourced from MGP in Indiana and aged in Kentucky. The barrels that went into this blend include both the 21% rye mash bill and the 36% high-rye mash bill. For finishing, the barrels underwent re-barreling into both new and used charred and STR barrels. Batch 007 of Copper & Cask’s Small Batch Series 7-Year Double Oak Bourbon is bottled at barrel proof (58.1% ABV), non-chill filtered, and carries a $65 price tag.
