Comments:
All in all, I feel like this particular blend feels like an average blended whiskey. It’s not terrible, but there is not a strong flavor. It may be a good starting point for someone looking to try getting into bourbon, and I’m sure if you are a Broncos fan, the price point is low enough for a special edition that it would definitely be worth it. rnrnYou could try this on the rocks, but I would suggest using it as a mixer for some of the cocktails that Breckenridge suggests on their website.
