I had this neat in a glencairn glass. Nose is full of fruit like cherries, blueberries, some caramel and sugar. I love the fruit. I could smell this ALL day, it is fantastic. The palate is just as fruity with some vanilla coming through. The finish continues with fruit and some great spice, like a really good rye. Wow, this is delicious. This is my first Bardstown pour and I’m a fan. I’d highly recommend this bottle!
