Broken Barrel Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Yellow Label (95 Proof)
95 proof NAS Bourbon Broken Barrel Los Angeles, CA $30–$35 70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley
Nose

Stone fruit-forward with peach syrup notes; delicate and surprising; evolving as it opens in the glass.

Palate

White pepper warmth that slowly builds; rye grain shines through; creamy and mellow from the increased French oak (40%); marzipan and powdered sugar sweetness with almost marshmallow-like and nougat qualities.

Finish

Longer and deeper than the California expression; smooth hug with a nice warm descent.

Recommended
A sophisticated small-batch bourbon with prominent rye character and French oak mellowing; stone fruit and dessert notes make it a compelling year-round sipper.
