Old Bardstown Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Another KY exclusive I was able to grab. Tastes a lot like Rowans Creek - lot of cinnamon spice and leather/walnut. But not as good as Rowans Creek. A decent enough whiskey and definitely not bad for the price. But thin, with very little finish (just sweet cinnamon lingers briefly) and drinks a little hot for the advertised 100 proof. Unlike heaven Hill 6 yr, I would not buy this by the case if I ever went back to KY. Probably wouldn’t even buy if it was available here. With that being said, if Rowans creek or Noah’s mill are your favorite bourbons, then this might be a nice alternative to explore especially to achieve a similar flavor profile in cocktails for much cheaper.
