Bardstown Bourbon Company Lox of Jura Barrel Finish
104 proof Blend of 10, 11, and 12-year bourbons, finished 32 months in Scotch barrels Bourbon and Rye Blend Bardstown Bourbon Company Bardstown, KY $140 49% Indiana bourbon (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley), 30% Indiana rye (95% rye, 5% malted barley), 21% Kentucky bourbon (75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley)
Nose

Honeydew melon and orchard fruit forward with a quiet malt presence underneath. Rye spice stands out as the dominant liquid character, with the Scotch present but not overpowering—like a person in the room who is louder than silent but not commanding the foreground.

Palate

Bourbon sweetness, rye spice, and fruity Scotch character weave together seamlessly with no obvious boundaries. Nuttiness emerges mid-palate. The three components remain on equal footing rather than one dominating.

Finish

Long and warming with the finish growing more Scotch-inflected and fruit-forward over time, while maintaining rye spice at the tail end. The proof point at 104 feels perfectly calibrated—not too hot, allowing all components to shine.

Remarkable
A masterfully balanced blend where bourbon, rye, and Scotch characters introduce themselves individually over time while remaining harmoniously integrated as a complete whole.
