Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series #11

Very smooth and sweet.

Oh my! This is special! OK so I tried this over the weekend at the bourbon on the banks event and instantly took one home! Nose - that old whisky varnish is the first thing that jumps out! Woot! Rich caramel and vanilla with wheat notes, soil, dirty, think the cleanest turkey funk ever. Rich oak as well, god this is rich and yet that wheated whisky is adding this clean funky and sweet n ote. Taste - At first it's just sweet kentucky bourbon. Very good, but lacking. A second sip however lingers forever. The age jumps out of the glass and once again that tiny bit of 6 year wheated bourbon is doing magic to these older whiskies. This is different from the 1-4 which were all great, 1 being the only one I didn't get...never saw one to buy, but had it. This is richer and longer lasting while not being as aged and perhaps "classic high end bourbon". Instead it's still got a lot of great notes of high end bourbon, but it's got it's own truly imo unique character. 3.5 I think. I'm buying another I think. This is just too unique a bourbon to not get a back up.
