Bardstown Bourbon Co. The Prisoner Wine Co. Finish

Smooth, amazing product, soft finish

Overall not really impressed, it’s like trying to drink whiskey out a bottle of wine . The nose is the best part of this bourbon , taste disappears after mid palate . I get a lot of grape and black pepper but once it gets about half threw your tongue it flattened out , no hug no burn almost became wine like lol low proof and she shows . I’d pass on this one and it’s price tag but if your not super into bourbons and just want something to talk about and a easy sipper “boo” it might work for you or maybe lady’s who like wine . I bet it’s sourced from Dickle !

It’s 2020. It’s December. Let’s shut this year down with a brand new whiskey (or whisky) every day. It’s my own personal whiskey advent calendar. +6! Dec. 11, 2020 This is 9 year old Tennessee bourbon finished in French Oak red wine barrels for a 18 months. Overall big fan of Bardstown, with a big letdown from Destillare. Hoping for a comeback story with this one. Nose is nose hair singing. This is hot. There’s grapes, raisin, sugar, ice cream. It’s on fire, but it’s delicious. Body hits gentler than expected in mouth feel. In flavor, there’s a heavy oak wall, higher than you’d expect for a 9-year bourbon. Get past it, and you’re rewarded. There’s lemon, fruit punch, sangria, cherry. This is delicious. Finish is gentle. There’s lingering sugars, but also tannins and a hint of cherry. There’s a nice buzz, and some cinnamon. Like most red wine finished bourbons, you can find that almond aftertaste, but the other flavors are too rich to make that a dominant finish note. This drink is phenomenal. It’s the best red wine finish I’ve ever had. And yet... it’s still not my favorite bardstown. They nailed this one out of the park, as they often do. It’s a bourbon for red wine lovers, finished bourbon fans, and anyone open to something new and well crafted. ‘Tis the season. I’m day-to-day on my whiskey selection, so if you’re reading this and there’s something readily available out there you’d like me to enjoy/suffer through this holiday season, leave it in the comments. Merry whiskey to all, and to all a beer flight!

Rich in flavor and texture...You can tell what prisoner wine tastes like if you haven’t before! I find myself gravitating towards this bottle....

The wine taste is more bitter with cigars

Absolutely delicious. Strong scent of torched sugar and tobacco on the nose, just the right amount of alcohol burn and some cinnamon on the exhale. I am going to pick up a few more bottles to store and age.
