Bardstown Bourbon Co. Fusion Series #5

Aroma is candy like and mostly sweet. Maybe some candy corn with the lightest note of baking spice. Flavor matches the Aroma in that it's mostly a sweet bourbon with a hint of young bourbon flavor. Some fruit notes and apple are present. A few drops of water have an interesting impact. Aroma becomes much more muted. But flavor expands greatly. Much more depth with maple and spice. Now some cinnamon and some lingering notes of Oak. Finish is better this way and water is a must here. Still, not one for the ages....

Crème brulee, light oak, vanilla, orange zest, caramel, brown sugar, baking spices, lemon bar, somewhat rich, full and spicy, a bit of astringency, but not enough to detract from a fine whiskey.

Caramel, rye, oak, cherry, chocolate covered cherry, a very easy supper that made me fall in love with Bardstown Bourbon Co as a brand.

Very good. Long and interesting finish.
