I had a sample of this to try and thought I’d give my review on it. I am a fan of what Bardstown Bourbon Company has been doing and their creative take on distilling, partnering and aging/finishing.
Since Distiller has provided zero info on this limited time offering, here is some background info:
This is 9yr old Tennessee Straight Bourbon (most likely Dickel) that has been finished in Walnut Brown Ale casks from the Goodwood Brewery for 18 months. It has been bottled at 103.2 proof.
The nose is sweet and has a malty chocolate note that initially comes out, as well as rich dark caramel, buttered corn, dried apricot dusty wood and vanilla.
The palate is sweet and slightly bitter with a medium body. There is a decent amount of wood, sweet vanilla, and cooked corn.
The finish is longish with lingering buttered corn, vanilla icing oak/wood and some bitterness.
A pretty unique spin on what I’m pretty positive is Dickel (which I enjoy btw). It drinks nicely. I’m pretty sure this was a one time deal, so it might be hard to come by. But if you see it, give it a whirl!
