Description
Breckenridge Rum Cask Finish offers a unique twist on classic bourbon, thanks to the rum cask influence.
Aroma
The initial impression offers a familiar bourbon sweetness of vanilla and caramel. As you delve deeper, a hint of tropical fruit emerges, like pineapple or mango, hinting at the rum cask influence. Subtle baking spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, characteristic of bourbon, are still present, but interwoven with this new layer of intrigue. A touch of sea salt or brine might also be present, adding a whisper of coastal character.
Palate
The medium-bodied character offers a satisfying weight on the tongue. The initial taste is a familiar bourbon sweetness of vanilla and caramel. The rum cask influence becomes more apparent here, with hints of tropical fruit like pineapple or mango adding a refreshing counterpoint. The baking spices from the aroma translate beautifully to the palate. A subtle wave of peppery spice, potentially from the rye grain used in some of the bourbon components, might emerge, adding complexity. The influence of the rum cask might also contribute a touch of honey or brown sugar sweetness.
Finish
The sweetness fades gradually, leaving a medium-length finish. Hints of vanilla, spice, and oak linger on the palate. The tropical fruit notes from the rum cask might leave a fleeting whisper, adding a touch of intrigue to the finish. A touch of dryness might also be present, hinting at the oak influence.
