3.5
3.5 out of 5 stars
Nose: grainy, cracker jax, lemon bar
Pallet: sweet oak, oily, very light with quick punch, carmel corn candy
Light for 106 proof, very easy to drink, flavors dont stick out too much - you really have to search for them. Good wheater and comparable to lower proof Wellers. Good value at $45-$50.

My first foray into Bardstown as recommended by the owner of one of my favorite stores where I purchase a big majority of my bottles from. And he does know my taste quite well, having filled all of my online special orders.
Bitter and bright orange pith ushers in nutty and sweet bear claw pastries drizzled with vanilla frosting. It is actually quite a stunning blend of sweet, spice, tannins and citrus. Very interesting and very unique indeed.
The taste opens up with spicy sweet cinnamon toast crunch with orange marmalade riding on the back, but slowly give way to spicy peppercorns and tannic oak. Although not especially viscous in mouth feel, that prickly pepper does give you a little pleasant tongue tingle. Quite delicious in fact.
The spicy and dry character pulls through the finish where you really do notice the tongue prickle. Orange pith adds a slight zing of citrus to an otherwise dry but satisfyingly long finish.
Wow! This one swings way above its price point and this is WELL worth the sub $60 price tag. Actually this Origin series Wheated Bourbon is good enough to make me interested in other Bardstown offerings.
