After a minimum of one year in new charred oak barrels, the bourbon is dumped to steel tanks, where each batch of Broken Barrel is hit with new French oak staves, ex-bourbon barrel staves, and a blend of ex-sherry cask staves. Rich, complex, layered and beyond beautiful, Broken Barrel boldly goes where other whiskies won’t – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Broken Barrel Bourbon features a unique blend of corn, rye, and barley that makes it perfectly balanced to infuse. We partnered with an incredible world-class Kentucky Bourbon distillery to select the finest bourbon base for our products. The bourbon is aged a minimum of one year (it has to be) to be called a Kentucky Bourbon, which also ensures a specific quality we're looking for before incorporate our Oak Bill™. ash Bill: 70% Corn 21% Rye 9% Malted Barley Oak Bill™ 40% French Oak Staves 40% Ex-Bourbon Cask Staves 20% Sherry Cask Staves A note about Staves - there is a tremendous amount of surface area when using staves to age and flavor a whiskey - much more than merely using the inside of a barrel. There are several more surfaces making contact with the liquid, each adding its own character and flavor.
