Copper & Cask 8 Year Old Cigar Blend Bourbon Batch 13

Copper & Cask 8 Year Old Cigar Blend Bourbon Batch 13 is an American bourbon whiskey from Rumford, Rhode Island, bottled at 59.1% alcohol by volume (ABV) and 118.2 proof. This limited release of 6,000 bottles is composed of a 41-barrel batch, blending both low-rye (21%) and high-rye (36%) bourbons aged for a minimum of 8 years.

What makes it special is its finishing process. After initial maturation, the whiskey was re-barreled into a combination of PX and Oloroso Sherry, Armagnac, Cognac, and Tawny Port casks, where it rested for at least six months. This secondary maturation imparts layers of fruit, spice, and sweetness, creating a distinctive cigar-friendly character.

This bourbon pairs beautifully with a fine cigar, enhancing its fruit and chocolate tones. It is equally enjoyable neat or with a splash of water. It complements rich foods such as roasted meats, aged cheeses, and dark chocolate desserts. Its limited availability makes it a thoughtful gift for collectors and bourbon lovers.

Aroma: Fresh orange zest and raspberry jam with subtle hints of oak.

Palate: Red fruit flavors of strawberry and red grapes, followed by plum and figs.

Finish: Long and rich with chocolate-covered orange peel, toffee, and toasted almonds.
