Breckenridge Rum Cask Finish
Bourbon — Colorado, USA
Reviewed March 28, 2022 (edited December 9, 2022)This is Breckenridge's premier whiskey for me. Candy corn and molasses on the nose. Some high rye bourbon flavors and rum on the palate. Very smooth and flavorful. -
I was a bit disappointed by this one as I've enjoyed other bourbons with wine finishes, but this was a bit overbearing for me. I'm not a big wine guy, so I may be a bit biased, but the finish is a little too strong and goes all in on the wine flavor. I've enjoyed Angel's Envy in the past, so I'm curious if Breckenridge's port wine finished bourbon is a bit more balanced than this. I do appreciate the finishes they are trying over there because the rum finished bourbon was some of the best I've had.

Laws Four Grain Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Colorado, USA
Reviewed March 28, 2022 (edited December 11, 2023)I've found this bourbon to be very polarizing. Most of my friends hate it, but I love it. Despite the four grains used, with corn making up the majority since this is a bourbon, the flavors come across like a wheat whiskey; it's got a lot of bread and dough notes coming through. Very interesting take on a straight bourbon from a Colorado distiller.
