Reviewed July 27, 2020 (edited December 31, 2020)Distilled by: Bardstown Bourbon Company? Honesty I don’t know. This brand is seriously lacking some transparency. Bottled by: Three Springs Bottling Company for Western Spirits Parent Company: Bardstown Bourbon Company Proof: 92 proof Age: 10 years Mash Bill: 74% corn, 18% rye, 8% Malted Barley *Barrel Char: Undisclosed Price: $79.95 at NC ABC Rested 5 minutes in a Glencairn, neat. Nose: Ethanol right off the bat, followed by artificial banana and cedar. Something else is there that I can’t quite place, but it’s not unpleasant. A lot of the traditional bourbon profile is missed here, overpowered by the other notes. Palate: That ethanol burn is right at the front again. Banana Runts and banana peel. Medium mouthfeel, along with some earthy tones. Finish: Medium. The ethanol burn gives way to the banana again, with some bitter citrus oil flavors. This glass is slightly analgesic, a bit more than I would like. A bit of tobacco makes a surprise appearance, but isn’t quite enough to impress. Overall: Let me start by saying that this glass isn’t bad. It has a bit more ethanol burn that I think is acceptable at only 92 proof. A blind test would have had me guessing closer to 100+. With that being said, I won’t be paying $80 for another bottle. It was missing the profile I want from a bourbon, and drank a little rough for the price.79.95 USD per Bottle
