Broken Barrel California Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
88 proof Minimum 2 years Bourbon Owensboro, Kentucky (distilled and aged) Owensboro, KY $30–$35 70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley
Nose

Sweet and aromatic with barn tobacco, dried cherry, and dark fruit notes; floral and fruity character.

Palate

Pop rocks and tingle on the mid-palate; sweet opening with a slight dryness in the middle reminiscent of a dry red wine; mouthwatering acidity with tannic elements from the wine-finished oak.

Finish

Sweet with medium length; medium-weight finish that lingers pleasantly without excessive burn.

Above average
A well-balanced, approachable bourbon with wine-influenced character that drinks like an aperitif whiskey.
