For those that have found and enjoyed Bardstown’s Founder’s finished bourbon, this Town Branch is its less expensive cousin. While the bourbon isn’t as subtle as Bardstown’s Founder’s, this Town Branch makes up for it with the maple stout sweetness. It isn’t over-powering, but you know it’s there, and it does enhance the bourbon flavors. I really enjoy this bottle and find myself drinking it like a “comfort” food…it’s warm and inviting, and wants to give you a nice warm hug. That matters during these cold winter months in the Midwest.
