6 years
Blended Whiskey
Broken Barrel
Indiana corn whiskey (99% corn, 1% multi-barley) blended with bourbon
Nose
Sweet molasses and sugar cane character; could deceive blind tasters into thinking it's rum; crystallized sugar elements; not immediately recognizable as whiskey
Palate
Rich, bold sweetness with sugar cane and molasses notes; pops of crystallized sugar sweetness; full mouthwatering flavor despite high proof; little curacao influence despite 50% recipe
Finish
Sweet and warming at 128 proof
Impressive
A bold, rum-like finished whiskey that masterfully blends high proof with approachable sweetness and sugar cane character.
