Tastes

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.

They really nailed this one. The port wine finish is very well done in that it doesn't overpower the bourbon flavors.

Great classic bourbon. Very smooth with a nice maple aroma and caramel flavor.

This reminded me of Laws Four Grain Straight Bourbon, as it has the same bread / dough notes. Unfortunately I didn't like this one nearly as much, as there is a strong acidic taste in there that throws it off a bit.

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.

I've heard people describe vanilla and birthday cake flavors in whiskey before and never really had any whiskeys that had those notes. This one hits you in the face with both of those flavors big time, which turns it into a bit of a love or hate it affair. I personally like the vanilla flavor they have going on and it's really impressive that they didn't use any additives to achieve it. It's a great dessert whiskey, but if you are searching for typical bourbon flavors you may be pretty disappointed.

Definitely a dessert whiskey. Tastes like a banana crem brulee with a nice strong finish. I wouldn't want to sip on this all the time, as the flavor is a bit much after the first drink and it would be cost prohibitive at $75+ for a bottle, but it is very good in small amounts. A nice celebratory whiskey.

Orange zest and leathery notes. Super good and one of my favorite bourbons, although it's a shame it is so hard to find where I live and when it is around it is usually around $50-$60.

I like IPAs, but the IPA flavor here is far too watered down. Really just getting some floral notes and a watered down hop taste at the end. Overall pretty boring and a bit disappointing given the radical sound of the idea of finishing whiskey in barrels that contained IPA.
