Broken Barrel Reserve Oak Series Finished with Peach Brandy Staves

Sweeter oak with a touch of fruit. Abv definitely comes through. Lingering finish. Not too complicated and could use a little balance. Good for entry level high proof.

Aromas were tough to pick up. Wood and grain alcohol for sure. Peach? Or is that my brain telling my nose what to smell? Apple and vanilla. Flavors are there. But it’s hot. Hot. Hot. Tough to get around this 115 proof. Fruit cokes through the heat nicely. Still apple and (maybe) peach. But it’s sweet for sure. Then. It’s. Guess… HOT!

Tons of flavor at high proof...pretty, pretty good.
