Breckenridge PX Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey

American Whiskey | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 750 mL | Colorado, USA | High-Rye Bourbon | PX Sherry Cask Finish

Process & Profile

Breckenridge PX Cask Finish Bourbon starts as the distillerys signature high-rye bourbon, aged in new charred American oak at high altitude in the Rocky Mountains. After its initial maturation, the whiskey is transferred into authentic Pedro Ximnez sherry casks sourced from long-standing Spanish soleras. This finishing step allows the bourbon to absorb the dense, syrupy, dried-fruit character left behind by PX sherry, layering richness and depth onto the base spirit. Bottled at 90 proof, it presents a balanced, dessert-leaning flavor profile.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fig, raisin, brown sugar, soft leather, and sweet oak.
Palate: Dark fruit leather, baked figs, warm toffee, baking spices, and sweet sherry richness.
Finish: Medium-long with lingering dried fruit, soft spice, and oak-driven sweetness.

What Makes It Special

• Finished in genuine Pedro Ximnez sherry casks, adding concentrated dark-fruit character.

• Built on a high-rye bourbon base, offering structure and spice beneath the sherry sweetness.

• Bottled at a balanced 90 proof, enhancing depth while remaining approachable.

• Rare use of PX casks in the bourbon category, giving it a dessert-style profile.

• High-altitude Colorado aging contributes additional maturation intensity and flavor extraction.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy neat to experience the full sherry-cask influence, especially fig and raisin notes. A splash of water will soften the sweetness and reveal more spice and toffee. Served over a large ice sphere, the whiskey becomes rounder and more dessert-like. Pair with dark chocolate, pecan tarts, blue cheese, or roasted nuts to highlight its rich, fruit-forward finish.
