Bardstown Bourbon Co. Tasting Notes
Nose: baked pear with nutmeg, cinnamon, and sage rests on toffee, brown sugar, and almond.
Palate: follows with vanilla bean, rich oak, and golden raisin combining to create an outstanding finish of refined flavor.
Jake’s Tasting Notes
Nose: The spice rack is the first thing that comes to my mind as I raise this glass. Cinnamon and black pepper give way to doughiness, fresh orchard fruits and confectionary sweetness.
Palate: The spice rack continues in the first sip of this finished whiskey that give characteristic of a bold red wine. The raisins, married with pepper, cinnamon, sage and nutmeg give it a fruitful body. The strong bourbon character shines the more you drink with oak and vanilla stealing the show.
Finish: Bold, Dry and Complex.
