Flavor Profile Differences
Barrel influence is the main separator.
- Bulleit Bourbon: The bottle that put high-rye bourbon in every cocktail bar in the country. Peppery and dry with the familiar MGP dill note, and it earns its place behind the bar more than in a glass on its own.
- Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #014 8 Year Double Oak: Eight-year MGP bourbon given a second stint in toasted barrels. It is dense and dessert-like, with molasses, dark chocolate and coffee over heavy oak at well over 120 proof.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Bulleit Bourbon if you want a dry, peppery, high-rye bourbon built for cocktails and available absolutely everywhere at a significantly lower price point.
- Go with Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #014 8 Year Double Oak if you want a dense, double-oaked, dessert-like bourbon at high proof.
Best enjoyed old-fashioned, cocktails, highball (Bulleit Bourbon); neat (Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #014 8 Year Double Oak).
