Bardstown Bourbon Company · Bardstown Bourbon Company
Discovery Series #10 showcases Bardstown's blending prowess at its most precise. The interplay between sweetness and structure here is meticulously calibrated, offering a bourbon that rewards both contemplation and conversation. At cask strength, it handles a splash of water gracefully, opening further layers of dried fruit and grain.
Nose
Layered caramel and charred oak lead, followed by a wave of dark cherry and brown spices. Underneath, there is a persistent note of toasted pecan and a dusty leather quality that deepens with time in the glass.
Palate
Rich and full-bodied, the entry is buttery and sweet with maple syrup and vanilla, then pivots sharply toward oak tannins and dried tobacco. A mid-palate surge of rye spice gives the blend its backbone and keeps the sweetness honest.
Finish
Long and warming, with charred oak and butterscotch slowly fading into earthy leather. The spice lingers well past the last sip.
