Just got my bottles and couldn't wait to taste it. Due to a pick up snafu, my bottles were delivered by no less than Bill himself. Had a nice visit and learned that the bourbon came from orphan barrels produced at Bardstown Bourbon. It's bib with a 72c 18r 10mb mashbill put up just over 4 years ago. 850 bottles produced. Light honey in color. Tears form and drop quickly in a glencairn. Off the neck, the nose is very shy. Given half an hour, it starts to open. Traditional bourbon notes on the nose with little complexity. Sweet corn leads the way and after a while there is some nice caramel. Once it's as open as it's going to get the nose is rich yet simple. The last .25 ounce is most enjoyable on the nose. The palate again is rather simple. The sweet corn is there and a touch of fruitiness in a caramel apple way. It's thin in the mouth and finish is short with a bitter end that says it needed more time in the barrel. I am very happy to have gotten a couple of bottles but this is only slightly above average overall. I do believe that it is telling us that Bardstown Bourbon is continuing to improve as it ages.
