The Story

About Broken Barrel Heresy Rye Whiskey

Infuse Spirits is aptly named. Seth Benhaim started infusing spirits in his garage in 2012 at the age of twenty-five. When he entered his first Vodka releases that year in the San Francisco Worlds Spirits Competition, his accomplishments made him the youngest ever winner of both Best in Show and Double Gold.

Infuse Spirits has gone on to develop a wide range of products, including six Vodkas, a Bourbon, a Rye, and a range of six unique cocktail bitters.

While Infuse Spirits Vodkas are flavored with natural spices and fruits, their Whiskeys are infused with staves from other barrels of different wood types. Broken Barrels "Heresy" Rye is a straight-forward Rye Whiskey distilled in Owensboro, Kentucky. While in the barrel for aging, they place broken staves form Bourbon casks, virgin French oak, and Sherry casks — which are allowed to float around freely in the barrels. Not only do these seasons staves impart finishing characteristics to the Rye, but they greatly increase the amount of overall wood contact. The more wood contact, the better and smoother the dram.

This kind of wood infusion is certainly atypical. Some might even suggest it is a kind of Whiskey-heresy, which is how Broken Barrels "Heresy" Rye Whiskey got its name. What you will taste is a classic Rye Whiskey — 95% rye and 5% malted barley — with plenty of wood spice and walnut notes under distinct almond aromas.

About Broken Barrel

Infuse Spirits was born as a passion project in the garage of Seth Benhaim in 2012. Benhaim came into contact with infused spirits while vacationing and immediately recognized there was a market for a natural, simple, and straightforward product. After extensive sampling and tinkering with the recipes, Infuse Spirits was launched. When Benhaim entered his first vodka releases in the San Francisco Worlds Spirits Competition, his creations made him the youngest person ever to win both Best in Show and Double Gold at just 25 years.

Infuse Spirits has gone on to develop a wide range of products, including six vodkas and a lineup of unique cocktail bitters under the brand name Infuse Bitters. Then there's Broken Barrel. While Infuse Spirits vodkas are flavored with natural spices and fruits, their whiskeys are infused with staves from other barrels of different wood types. Hence the name ― they break the barrels, then put the wood into the whiskey.

About Rye

As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin.
It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.

By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Almond and rancio aromas greet you, followed by a robust palate of warm spices, roasted walnuts, and pralines. The finish is long and strong with black pepper and orange zest.
