The barrel is sometimes called the soul of whiskey, with some estimates putting it as contributing 70-80% of the flavor in every bottle. Regardless of the precise number, the wood used to age the distillate is hugely important, and that’s what the Broken Barrel team really gets.

This Bottle stems from our December 2022 Blind Tasting Subscription Box.
