The ability to fine-tune things with water may offer special appeal to some, but I just don’t see much in here to recommend. While a cask strength abv doesn’t completely detract from the experience, it sure doesn’t add much, and the overall impact of Broken Barrel at 58% being much the same as the standard edition - pungent, somewhat leathery, and heavy on the cloves. My gut told me that an already boozy whiskey, light on character as it is, probably didn’t need even more alcohol to muddy the picture, and sure enough my instincts were correct. Infuse Spirits Broken Barrel Bourbon Cask Strength – A cask strength expression of the above, with a fancier bottle design. I’m not sure why the decision was made to bottle this at a whopping 105 proof, as all that booze lends a pungency to the finish as well as a gummy texture throughout. While the palate initially finds many of the same elements enduring, they’re ultimately muddied through a heavier char character and a blunt, heavy alcohol note that dulls the spice and showcases a lot of raw granary notes instead. The nose is much more engaging than the bourbon, thanks to plenty of classic rye spice character, which rides alongside notes of menthol, Butterfinger candy, barrel char, and burnt matches. Infuse Spirits Heresy Rye – Made in much the same way as Broken Barrel Bourbon (with the same stave treatment in stainless steel), hence the “Heresy” moniker. The finish takes things into a world of peanut butter and cloves - none of which is even remotely satisfying. ![]() The palate is also hot, with notes of overripe fruit melding somewhat chaotically with a heavy note of Corn Nuts. Quite hot on the nose, there’s a heavy ethyl alcohol note here, with notes of black pepper and beef jerky underneath. ![]() It does at least explain the “Broken Barrel” name, though. Infuse Spirits Broken Barrel Bourbon – Made with rye in the mash “infused with oloroso sherry casks.” That’s a weird way to suggest a barrel program, but Infuse doesn’t age in barrels (beyond 6 months) but rather in stainless steel tanks with staves included, in this case 40% French oak staves, 40% ex-bourbon cask staves, and 20% sherry cask staves, dropped into the vat. Update: New branding and labeling as of 2020. Mashbill information is not provided, nor is any significant age data. ![]() Tyler Distillery - aka Terresentia/TerrePure, a relatively new contract distiller with an accelerated aging program. Note that the products are all sourced, distilled at Owensboro, Kentucky, which would indicate they come from the O.Z. Now folks, the time is here, and we’re looking at the entirety of Infuse’s whiskey line, which spans three different expressions - two bourbons, one rye. Follow us on social media to find our upcoming events and see what we're all about.A few months ago, I promised a look at the whiskeys of Infuse Spirits, the company which made its name with flavored vodkas and which recently branched out into whiskey. If you haven't tasted our product yet, we hope you get to soon. Since then, Infuse has continued to work tirelessly and passionately to ensure every bottle of Infuse Spirits, whether its vodka, whiskey, or bitters, is balanced, smooth, and bursting with character and flavor. Just three months later, Seth (who was then 25 years old) became the youngest brand owner to ever win Best-in-Show and Double-Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Infuse Spirits Vodka Mango Habanero,Perfectly paired with a Bloody Mary, there is serious spiciness and flavor created by our mango habanero infusion. One year and a few hundred samples of vodka infused with only natural, real ingredients later, Seth launched Infuse Spirits. So naturally, he decided to be the one to create it.and he did. After experiencing the magic of infused spirits while on vacation, he realized the market lacked such product. In 2012, young and creative founder Seth Benhaim decided the world was in desperate need of a spirit that offered a natural and simple process that anyone could understand. ![]()
