The Blend, Turned Up to 105
Breckenridge's flagship bourbon won Bourbon of the Year back in 2011 at 86 proof; the High Proof expression takes the same blend philosophy and bottles it at a gripping 105 — the proof the blenders themselves taste from the barrel. The extra proof deepens everything: a dark, burnt-orange hue and a bolder marriage of caramel, spice, and oak. Add water slowly to open it up, or drink it as-is if you like your whiskey bold.

Tasting Notes
Nose: rye spice, sugar cookie, caramel, toffee, with hints of orange, pine, and mint. Palate: dark caramel, subtle vanilla, toasted almonds, burnt Baker's chocolate, dried orange peel, young oak. Finish: medium, sweet, and spiced — rye spice and vanilla with suppressed hints of pine and oak.
How to Enjoy
Neat with a slow splash of water to unlock the full profile, or on a large cube. The proof and spice make it a powerhouse Old Fashioned base.
