Breckenridge PX Sherry Cask Finish

A complex, Bourbon Whiskey by Bryan Nolt founder of Breckenridge Distillery in Colorado; the primary aging is in new, #3 char American white oak casks for a minimum of three years then finished in the Pedro Ximenez casks adds four to six months. It has an aromatic birth with notes of sherry, vanilla & orange blossoms; while a rich & creamy life adds notes of fig, raisin, toffee, vanilla, baking spices, almond paste, licorice & orange marmalade; that led to a long & complex death. February 2020 / August 2022

Beautiful syrupy mouthfeel taken from the highly viscous dessert wine casks it’s aged in. This bourbon starts immidatley with sweet licorice and vanilla with the later being felt throughout the experience. Strong pepper spice through the middle finishing with an almondy bitterness.

Took me a few drama to get i to this one vs. The regular Breckinridge bourbon, but ultimately rated it a solid 3.5. Strong initial bite to the palate but a very nice finish thanks to the sherry cask. Might purchase again.

Flaviar sample box “Spirit of the Rockies” December, 2022 Sample C Pour/Color: The darkest of the three, but appears relatively light in density Nose: smells like The Mill (apartments) carpet cleaner or entering a new building First taste: Vanilla, molasses, caramels, and chocolate of a bourbon are present but noticeably soft Lingering: Dark chocolate and sweet notes linger Score: 3 (best of the three, would not buy)
