Branch & Barrel Whiskey is produced by Branch & Barrel Distilling in Colorado using 80% corn and 20% malted barley. The whiskey is aged in barrels made from trees on the distillery’s property, has no age statement and is bottled at 44% ABV. It hosts a suggested retail price of $45.
Overall it’s a straightforward tasting whiskey, leaning heavily on vanilla, caramel, and grain notes. On the flip side, its nose is expressive, and its maltiness adds character. Additional time in oak is needed to increase complexity and bring out additional flavors.
