Light glazed donuts, charred oak, caramel, vanilla cream, powdered sugar, touches of maple candy. Sweet scents prevail.
Vanilla cream, dry oak, caramel, dried cherries, baking spices, cinnamon powder, gentle rye spice, light pie crust. Very flavorful.
Dry oak, leather, rye spice, flashes of dried dark fruits, lingering dry heat.
Discovery Series #10 is a reminder that even though Bardstown produces in-house distillate, they clearly have what it takes to blend a well-rounded sourced whiskey. With release #10, they blended predominantly Kentucky bourbon with 10% from Georgia and a head-scratching 2% from Tennessee. The sip opens with sweeter scents — powdered sugar and vanilla cream joined by maple candy and glazed donuts. It truly takes off on the palate, with prominent doses of vanilla cream, baking spices, cinnamon powder, and dried cherries taking turns dominating. The biggest complaint is the finish, which ends on dry and spice notes with only a flash of dried dark fruits — an overly dry close that takes away from the goodwill built on the palate. Overall, another great addition to the Discovery Series. — Breaking Bourbon (Jordan Moskal, July 28 2023) Personal notes (The Whiskey Show): Lamingtons Orange slices Stewed tea
