Broken Barrel California Oak

Two Worlds Collide

Born in Northern California and raised in Southern California, our founder Seth has California running through his veins. Enamored with Kentucky and loyal to his home state, he combined his two favorite places into one award-winning bottle of whiskey. Distilled in Owensboro, Kentucky, this Straight Bourbon whiskey is finished with 80% Central Coast Cabernet barrel staves and 20% French Oak staves. The charred virgin French oak imparts a common character found in wine, while also rounding out the sweet dark fruit flavors from the freshly dumped wine barrels.

A Symphony of Flavors

Experience a marshmallow-forward taste with a cherry center and an oak-heavy finish that lingers, all while remaining balanced and approachable. As our founder says, "California Oak was created as a bourbon that could seamlessly bring the wine drinker into the world of whiskey. This is a step into our world and an everyday sipping whiskey made to be enjoyed neat, and often."
