Bardstown Bourbon Company Discovery 2026
112.8 proof Blend of 7, 10, and 11-year bourbons, rested 4 months in Gariana oak Bourbon Bardstown Bourbon Company Bardstown, KY $140 55% Indiana bourbon (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley), 25% Kentucky bourbon (74% corn, 18% rye, 8% malted barley), 20% Kentucky bourbon (74% corn, 16% rye, 10% malted barley)
Nose

Butterscotch and burnt sugar with a mild molasses character—not dark black strap molasses, but a sugary syrup richness. No maple-forward notes, purely burnt sugar aromatics.

Palate

Sweet and thick, leaning toward cola-like depth. Cooked cherries emerge alongside nuttiness. The Gariana oak contributes a distinctive concentrated sweetness and complexity. Some citrus brightness appears mid-palate.

Finish

Citrus-cherry brightness with lingering spice. The higher proof at 112.8 adds presence and body throughout.

Recommended
A rich, oak-driven bourbon blend where custom Gariana oak creates a unique sweet and concentrated profile, though the higher proof slightly edges toward intensity.
