128 proof
6 years
Light Whiskey (Finished)
Broken Barrel
99% corn, 1% malted barley
Nose
Deceivingly understated; molasses-forward with sugar cane and rum-like sweetness; could be mistaken for rum rather than whiskey in a blind tasting.
Palate
Rich, mouthwatering, and bold with crystallized sugar elements that pop on the tongue; sweet with sugar cane and molasses character balanced by rum cask influence; high proof handles beautifully without harshness.
Finish
Warm and lingering with integrated sweetness and spice.
Overall Score
4.6 / 5
An innovative and bold whiskey that transforms light whiskey base into a rum-like experience through orange curaçao and Barbadian rum cask finishing—deceptive on the nose but explosively flavorful on the palate.
