We think this is another award-winning Bourbon from Breckenridge.
Based high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado at an altitude of 9600 feet, Breckenridge Distillery calls themselves “The World’s Highest Distillery.” And yes, we are pretty sure that the pun is intended. If you took a hard look at their impressive range of nine product offerings and more than two-dozen awards — including winning “Distillery of the Year”… twice — you might think that they have been around a long time. But Bryan Nolt founded the place in 2007. That makes their numerous achievements even more impressive.
Breckenridge has had a Port-finished Bourbon in the line-up for a while. But this is something new, released for the first time in September 2017. As the name implies, Breckenridge PX Sherry Cask Finish is their multi-award-winning Bourbon finished in Pedro Ximenez casks — some of the most sought-after finishing barrels in the entire Whiskey universe. Called “PX” casks among industry insiders, these rare barrels have been rotated off of the Solera aging stack — so they have held some very old and rare Sherry. Like their other finished Bourbons, the primary aging is in new, #3 char American white oak casks for a minimum of three years. Finishing in the PX casks adds four to six months in aging and is famous for bringing notes of fig and creamy raisin.

Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.

Ratings & Reviews
Cameron,
Tasty treat
Roland,
Strong orange notes with an undercurrent of dried fruit sweetness mixed with warm vanilla. Spicy heat and like others have advised, benefits from a drop of water to improve sip ability and temper the raw alcohol heat.
Clint,
This is delicious!! Best one I’ve tried yet.
Jacqueline,
Unusual and delicious
Mark,
Tasted and smelled
Immediate orange
Strong alcohol vapors
Good legs
Deeper amber color
Good mouthfeel
Hot spicy
Added water and helped it be an easy sipper
- otherwise was strong vapors
Waited and big change
Much sweeter scent
Spiciness reduced and sweetness came out
Reminded me of a donut
Caramel mouthfeel and finish
After some time and a drop of water this greatly improved. I would consider adding it but it does feel like it needs a bit more age. Complexity isn’t high but flavors were good.
