Made entirely from locally grown grains—corn, wheat, and barley—this bourbon is carefully crafted from grain to glass using an 88-year-old copper pot still. Aged for at least three years in new charred oak barrels and bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), it boasts a rich flavor profile featuring luscious notes of caramel, vanilla, and woody spice, with hints of cherry, candied peaches, and cr√®me br√ªl√©e. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation of a classic cocktail, Kopper Kettle offers a smooth, full-bodied experience that celebrates authentic Southern craftsmanship and exceptional quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nBelmont Farm's Kopper Kettle Bourbon is crafted using locally sourced corn, wheat, and barley, grown on the distillery's own farm. The grains are distilled in an antique copper pot still, which dates back to the 1930s, and then aged for at least three years in charred new oak barrels. The result is a 92-proof (46% ABV) whiskey with a tawny appearance and medium-bodied viscosity that embodies traditional Southern bourbon-making techniques.\n\nThe distillery's ‚Äúgrain-to-glass‚Äù ethos ensures complete control over every stage of production, creating a bourbon that is artisanal and uniquely tied to its Virginian roots.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Initial aromas of caramel, vanilla, and dry oak are complemented by hints of toasted corn and malty biscuits.
