Bardstown Bourbon Co. Fusion Series #7

4.5

Dark straw in color, sparse, slow moving legs. Nose shows a fair contribution of rye: green apple, golden raisins, toast, vanilla, light caramel and a bit of clove. Soft, but warm, ... Creamed corn and butterscotch give way to toasted oak and butter pecan ice cream, and notes of raspberries. There's a hint of malt sneaking in through every aspect. This is just superbly drinkable!

Aroma - brown sugar, almonds, apples, pears, pie crust baking spices. Sweet profile, quite a nice balance Taste - This is pretty good. Getting quite a bit of those same notes from the nose here. Big brown sugar, apples, berries and a slight spice. There’s a touch of old oak on the backend which really brings this into balance. Extremely smooth. Overall - above average at its price point. Really nice blend.. Definitely getting more of those younger 3 year whiskeys than the 12 years.

A very nice blended bourbon. Oak, vanilla and caramel with a touch of rye spice and cinnamon sugar. Definitely recommend

Carmel and vanilla on the nose and palate. Nice mouthfeel and a long lingering hug. 8/27/22 - No noticeable difference from my first taste. Maybe a bit thinner, but still flavorful. Spicy hug is still present. Good, but probably don’t need to repurchase this one. 10/15/22 - Brought this along to share on a campout. Happy to say that this bottle has really improved, and have enjoyed it this weekend. Definitely better that ‘good’. Though still not sure I need to have this on the shelf all the time.

caramel and white sugar, herbal rye, and a rich oaky aftertaste. the small amount of wheat is also faintly noticeable and gives a mellow character. bardstown always does well, but fusion 7 is above average!

Fruit forward, vibrant on the palette. Brown sugar and honey. Finish is somewhat short with spice and fruit (apples, plum). More aged stock and a some proof points would really amp this up. But very nice and flavor is great. Really good stuff here.

Excellent bourbon, better than many so sought after bourbons that are selling for far more money.
