Tastes

Spice, oak, cherry, caramel, fig. This bourbon is meant for holidays and the dead of winter. Warm and inviting. Spicy and sweet. And if your family bothers you, drink enough of it and nothing will matter :)

Great balance of spice and sweetness. Spicy cinnamon and gooey melted caramel with oak. Drinks great at 102 proof on the rocks.

The nose immediately smells like vanilla frosting. It’s rich and sweet and it kicks in with some spice and fades to a sweet red fruit note. The palate is spicy on the first sip, just like a rye should be, spiced apples. Figs and a nice lingering heat that fades to rasperry jam

The nose is very subtle. You can tell it’s a wheated bourbon. Hints of honey and slightly toasted grains. The palate is rye on the forefront, almost pumpernickel; some sweetness, spice and ever so subtle citrus. The moutfeel is medium with a nice oiliness that’s slightly rich and opens to some cinnamon and white pepper. Finish lingers for quite sometime

Nose is vanilla frosting, hints of toffee/heath bar, with some baking spice and oak undertones. Palate is rich and oily and very well rounded. Palate is salted caramel, intense oak and undertones of cedar and it opens up with fiery cinnamon and a long lasting finish. I love this bottle. Bardstown doesn’t miss.

Nice cask strength rye that doesn’t break the bank. The nose is rye spice, cinnamon, and spearmint. Palate is a short sweet note initially like brown sugar, it opens up fast and hot. Big cinnamon and spearmint which ends up transforming into cedar and gooey caramels. This finish is long and almost menthol numbing in a good way. Good anytime sipper; awesome on a cold winters night.

The nose is oak, maple sweetness, salted nuts, with some fruit and mint. Palate almost resembles the nose. Up front its slightly sweet like a blend of maple and caramel mingled with oak. The middle dries out like having a handful of salted peanuts, finishing with cherry and slightly herbaceous. A nice heat opens up as it finishes and lasts long.

The nose is sweet like marmalade with hints of spice and herbs. The palate is very rye forward. Spicy hot cinnamon, herbs (rosemary & mint), & stone fruit. The fruit comes out more on the end and finishes long with a pithy bitterness

One of my favorite bottles. You cant beat it for the money. The nose is rich with vanilla frosting and spice. The palate is big and in your face without being overbearing. Caramel, vanilla, tobacco, smoke/char. The finish is long and pleasing with and opens with a nice punch of heat.

The nose is a distinct blend of both bourbon and rum; you ger rich caramel/oak blended with tropical fruit like pineapple, vanills cherry cola and a touch of smokiness. Palate follows the nose almsot the same. Vanilla, allspice, oak, citrus. The finish is smooth and long with a burst of heat. Excellent.
