Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series #7

This remains my favorite bottle, excepting Bardstown Triple Staves. The sweet notes are everywhere and it is smooth as can get. It is great, that is why I have had three bottles.

Good, solid, bourbon, slightly sweet.

Very nice and I see what all the fuss is about. That said, not sure if it’s worth the price and I got a good deal at $130.

Pale gold with a ruddy copper hue. Legs are reluctant to appear, but when they start forming there's lots. Nose is dark caramel, cherry, vanilla, weathered oak boards, a hint of rye and spice. Sweet and soft up front, an absolute flavor bomb! Stone fruit, milk chocolate, dried cherries, caramel, and rich maple and brown sugar notes. Long, drawn out finish returns the oak with a shift to baking chocolate and luxardo maraschino cherries. Alarmingly drinkable at the proof straight out of the bottle, yet a few drops of water stretch it out. This is absolutely wonderful. Well balanced, long finish and wildly rich and interesting.
