Oh dear... I've tried it.. they are really into marketing.. "the bourbon that beat pappy.." I'll tell you, it's not bad actually.. but at the price point I find it to be not that great ($55 a bottle where I am). They too are engaged in a bit of deception... their product is sourced as well...They are apparently producing but I'm not sure if any of their own product has ended up in the bottle yet... I guess I'm a bit of a purist... I like knowing where the product is made.. a lot of places are obtaining product from somewhere else. I find that that's ok, but I would rather places be upfront about it.. Breckenridges goal is to eventually get to 100% of their own product but for example Whistlepig isn't even distilling yet.... At least they put their unique spin by cutting it with Colarodo snow melt...

For me, Four Roses Single Barrel at $35 is a much superior product... At that price point, I'm buying Elijah Craig Barrel Proof....
