Breckenridge PX Sherry Cask Finish

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)

Great for sipping neat or mixing.

I was really surprised by this one. Colorado, being at such high altitude and cold, I’d have imagined this young ( less than 5 yr old I think ) to be harsh and muddled. But the PX finishing seems to really round it out nicely. I bought this over to a friend’s place last night for dinner. Not ever have had this before, I was hoping it wouldn’t be a dud. Nose and palette are very dessert like. Creamy, raisins, sweet fruits. Made for a perfect post dinner dram. I believe I bought this years ago for $50. At that price, it’s a great affordable way to explore the lesser known of the Colorado whiskeys ( the well known being Stranahan’s).
