Breckenridge Rum Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey

Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Rum Casks | 45% ABV | 90 Proof | 750mL | Colorado, USA | High-Rye Bourbon | Colorado Rum Cask Finish

Process & Profile

Breckenridge Rum Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey takes the distillery’s award-winning high-rye bourbon and finishes it in casks that previously held Breckenridge Distillery’s own aged Colorado rum. The finishing process adds layers of rich sweetness, warm spice, dark chocolate, and fruit while preserving the underlying bourbon character.

The bourbon foundation brings caramelized grain, oak, vanilla, and spice, while the used rum casks introduce a rounder, sweeter dimension. Bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof), the finished whiskey develops a distinctive profile of candied apple, cinnamon, cacao, dark chocolate, and lingering allspice.

Rather than relying on externally sourced finishing barrels, Breckenridge uses casks from its own aged Colorado rum, creating a direct connection between two spirits produced by the distillery.

How to Enjoy

Breckenridge Rum Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey is well suited to sipping neat, allowing its candied apple, cinnamon, chocolate, cacao, and allspice characteristics to develop naturally in the glass.

It can also be enjoyed over a large ice cube, which gradually softens the spice and highlights more of the rum-cask sweetness. For cocktails, its combination of bourbon spice and dark sweetness works particularly well in an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or other spirit-forward whiskey drinks.
