Flavor Profile Differences
Oak is doing most of the differentiating here.
- 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.
- Stellum Bourbon: Barrell's lower-priced, cask-strength line. It drinks gentler than its proof, with vanilla and caramel on top of cinnamon, clove and a long, spicy finish.
Which One Should You Choose?
- 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.
- Go with Stellum Bourbon if you want a cask-strength, multi-state blend that drinks easier than its proof at a lower price point and without hunting for it.
