Bardstown Bourbon Co. Fusion Series #4

I have tasted this twice now and it’s delicious. I get cinnamon and baking spice on the nose. The palate is all toasted caramel and vanilla with a nice burn on the finish, but not overly oaked. Really nice.

Super smooth!!!

Vanilla extract bomb, caramel, nutty, very smooth.

A little of smoke with a sweet taste. You can taste the age of the 13 years barrels but also taste the lack of age in the 3-4 year old blends.

This score is biased based on the price point. If this were a $20 to $30 bottle my review would be completely different. This is a thin bourbon lacking a distinguishable nose. It is smooth but devoid of character. I drank it neat and with a single cube to see if there was a redeeming quality. There wasn’t; it’s just so thin that the subtleties of its flavor profile are lost on me. I will quickly drink this bottle and soon forget about the price I paid. There is so much good bourbon out there, don’t waste your money on this bottle.
