15 Stars
Bardstown, KY
$59.99
Red, white, and blue corn blended with two different yellow corn mash bills
Nose
Classic bourbon notes with citrus, cherry pie, and dark cherry character.
Palate
Fruit-forward sweetness rather than dessert-forward. Dark cherry, citrus, rich caramel. Smoother than the Explorer despite higher proof.
Finish
Clean with lingering fruit and caramel notes.
Noteworthy
A balanced and approachable small batch that blends heirloom corn varieties into an easy-drinking bourbon with nice fruit complexity.
