Bourbon
Bardstown Bourbon Company
Bardstown, KY
Blend of three whiskeys: 74% corn/18% rye/8% malted barley (11yr 7mo), 68% corn/20% wheat/12% malted barley (2yr 3mo), 60% corn/36% rye/4% malted barley (2yr 1mo)
Nose
Subdued and muted with light fruit notes and corn character from the younger bourbon, complemented by a smoky, grilled corn quality from the aged stock.
Palate
Better than expected given the 60% young bourbon content; peanut brittle sweetness, vanilla, and dried fruit notes; slightly dry on the mid-palate with minimal rounding sensation.
Finish
Medium length with dry bitterness on the back end, leather and tannin character from the older stock.
Satisfying
A respectable blended bourbon that demonstrates skilled blending, though not an exceptional pour.
