Broken Barrel Heresy Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey (105 Proof)
105 proof NAS Rye Broken Barrel Los Angeles, CA $30–$35 95% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose

Bubble gum and evergreen/conifer notes with pine cone character; foresty and aromatic; minimal burn for the proof.

Palate

Aromatic and syrupy with candy-like qualities; rye flavor bursts through toward the end; forest-like character reminiscent of redwood forest aromatics; candied and opening to the palate with each sip.

Finish

Heavy-textured with significant legs; thick and warming with extended flavor development across second, third, and fourth sips.

Very good
An outstanding rye whiskey at proof and price point that stands apart from typical offerings; aromatic complexity and texture make it excellent neat, on ice, or in cocktails.
