Description

Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks! On today’s show, we’re reviewing Five Trail “Unbroken Spirit” Blended American Whiskey—a bold new entry by Coors Whiskey Co. that leans into collaboration, history, and provenance.  We have a special guest tonight, Ty Lord.

The Backstory

• Producer: Coors Whiskey Co. (yes, the Coors beer folks) in partnership with Bardstown Bourbon Co.
• Blend Composition: Includes a Colorado single malt and several sourced bourbons from Kentucky and Indiana
• ABV: ~47.5% (~95 proof) in many bottlings 
• Positioned as an “ultra-premium” offering with a focus on craftsmanship and a heritage narrative 

Tasting Notes

Nose
Rich and layered: imagine cinnamon babka, graham cracker, coffee cake, and orange peel—a sweet but aromatic opening. 

Palate
The sip brings a balanced sweetness with notes of chocolate-covered strawberries, dulce de leche, vanilla bean, and hints of orange and almond. Opens up nicely without being overly aggressive.

Finish
You get cooked fruit, more chocolate, a touch of pear, and a well-woven, substantial body and depth. 

Overall Impression

Strengths

• Flavor complexity & depth: This isn’t a stripped-down blend—there’s effort in the sourcing and layering. 
• Bold aromatic and fruity profile: The nose and palate are interesting and sometimes surprising. 
• High proof: Packs a punch and delivers boldness. 

Potential Weaknesses

• Price vs. expectation: At the premium price tier, some drinkers expected more nuance or consistency. 
• Cohesion: With multiple source whiskeys, the blend sometimes struggles to find a single voice—though some batches are better than others. 

Who Should Try It?

• Flavor explorers: If you enjoy trying blends and appreciate a bold, layered profile, this is a worthwhile experiment.
• Cocktail lovers: It holds up well in an Old Fashioned or Neat pour if you want something with body and character.

Final Verdict

Pros:

• Intriguing nose and depth of flavor
• Solid proof and body

Cons:

• Some variability in batch experiences
• Slight question over price justification

Recommendation:
If you find Five Trail Unbroken Spirit at a fair price (~$55–70), it's worth a pour, especially for those who enjoy bold blends and complexity. It might not become a shelf staple, but it’s a compelling conversation piece and a creative expression in American whiskey.

That’s a wrap for this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks. Sip steady and savor the unbroken spirit. Cheers!
