Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series #2

I was really excited about this one. Heard some great reviews like It's Bourbon Night, try before your die whiskeys. Lucky I was able to get a sample of it, with an MSRP of $120. I was able to find it in my area for this price and almost purchased it. Might of been my pallet after trying the William Heavenhill, th ediction 12 year. That baby was 134.4 proof! 1 ounce sample in a GC. Allowed it to breathe for 15 minutes N(3): Got a funky musk. The aroma was there but nothing really jumped out. Got a little bit of fruit sweetness. I had a couple of big sniffs after the first tasting, still no real change. I've had more come out of Buffalo Trace or Wild Turkey 101. P(3.25): Not complex or bold. It's good. Got some cherries and a bit of mint. Adding another quarter point because the mint was delightful and not overwhelming. F(3.75): Wow...this baby was hot. Punched my throat. I'm pretty good at handling high proof, JDBP, ECBP, Stagg Jr. After the second sip, it gave me heart burn. But the flavors were good. Vanilla and sweet oak with a drop of citrus. Like a young orange.
