Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Very dark amber to mahogany with deep russet tones; the extreme temperature swings at Coy Hill's elevation create intense colour extraction. Proofs range 122-137.5
- Nose
- Melted caramel, burnt brown sugar, buttered French toast, baked bananas, charred oak. Hard cherry candy, dried cinnamon, cedar, vanilla extract, and blackstrap molasses. Intensely caramelized and deeply sweet
- Palate
- Hot chocolate, cinnamon, maple sugar candy, espresso beans, jammy blueberry, and orange. Flambeed banana with deep caramels, vanilla, and sweet oak. Red fruit, fresh ground coffee, plums, apples, and cherries. Remarkable complexity from the high-elevation aging
- Finish
- Long finish loaded with chocolate, black coffee, cinnamon, and peppery spice with persistent oak. A lacquer-like quality on the front palate while spicy and fruity notes linger. The third Coy Hill release and considered the best
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
