Bourbon, Pushed Somewhere Unexpected
"Take a great American whiskey and push it somewhere unexpected" — that's how founder Bryan Nolt describes the Rum Cask Finish, and the judges keep agreeing: back-to-back Double Golds at two of the country's top competitions. The rum casks layer candied apple and allspice over the bourbon's high-rye caramel core, with dark chocolate depth that reads almost like dessert. One of the clearest expressions of what Breckenridge does best. Explore Breckenridge finished whiskeys or browse bourbon whiskey.
Tasting Notes
Nose: candied apple, cinnamon, sweet oak. Palate: dark chocolate and cacao over bourbon caramel, allspice warmth. Finish: lingering allspice — gratifying in one sip, mysterious enough to leave you wanting another.
How to Enjoy
Neat to catch the full rum-cask interplay, or on a large cube. Try it in a rum-barrel Old Fashioned riff with demerara and bitters.
