Copper Fox Rappahannock Single Malt

I was first very excited when I was giving this as a gift, American single malt. I had never had such American before. But my excitement was very short lived.

First the nose gives some baked apples and hints of pear. That does not follow to your taste. The taste is very alcoholic and really burns back of your mouth. The body is very thin. The long lingering after taste is very oaky and raw wood. In the following sips of the whiskey the woodnes really just grows.

Sorry, my first try of American single malt was not one of the greatest ones.

More on the whiskey. It is distilled by Copper Fox Distillery in Sperryville, Virginia.
