Breckenridge Dark Arts, according to the information I’m seeing appear online from different sources, is at least four years in age. It is made from:
a mash of barley, and each grain is a starch packet wrapped in its own casing. The process of mashing and fermentation is designed to efficiently convert these sugars to ethanol. In mastering the Dark Arts we chose to buck tradition by sacrificing the yield of these fermentable sugars for flavors of intense cacao and smoky caramel.
Breckenridge Dark Arts Whiskey Distilled from Malt Mash is bottled at 46% ABV. Price wise, I’m seeing it drop in around $300 per 750 ml bottle should you seek one out. There’s no question this is a steep price for a young whiskey of this nature. It makes me think of Bainbridge’s Yama Whiskey from a few months back, and also of the Hillrock single malts out of New York. All great bottlings in their own right, but expensive in comparison to their bourbon kin. With these different expressions, are we seeing the arrival of high end American single malts and related whiskies for the first time? Will the market support it? I guess we will see.
