Breckenridge Whiskey PX Finish

Tasting Notes

About:

90 Proof, 45% ABV, aged a minimum of three years in charred new American oak, finished in PX sherry casks. Batch number 6, 750ml, $57
Appearance:
Few, quick legs, bright golden amber.
Nose:
Raisins and spun sugar burst out and are nearly cloying, balanced by worn leather
Palate:
A fruity kick similar to punch starts off here, deepening into fruit leather and baking spices. The back palate comes in with creaminess and some warmth, wrapping up with a fairly quick finish.
Finish:
Comments:
This whiskey is good. It’s very down the line, neither crazy nor boring. The dessert wine finish nearly makes it a dessert whiskey. It’s sweet, but certainly not one-note in that regard. This is a pretty easy sipper that tastes good, either after dinner or just to relax with. Rum lovers or those looking for a softer introduction to whiskey will find a friend in this bottle.
