Bourbon Lens Tasting Notes: Bardstown Bourbon Silver Oak Collaboration
Nose: Bold and balanced on the nose. It starts with red fruits (honey crisp apple and raspberry) followed by plumb/ fig, caramel with hints of earthiness and nuttiness.
Palate: Earthy on the palate to start and fades quickly to dark fruits and berry compote on the backend of the palate. Drinks like a bold red wine (which is right on the nose for this blend) This pour I believe will give you new tasting notes every time!
Finish: Fruit compote and nuttiness on the finish that leaves you wanting another sip!
Continued Innovation
Bardstown Bourbon Company continues to lead the industry in innovation, as demonstrated by their recent collaborations with Blackberry Farm and Amrut Distillery. The Amrut collaboration, in particular, marked a significant milestone as the first Indian single malt finish for American whiskey, earning 95 points and a Double Gold at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Discovery 12
Bardstown Bourbon Company is set to release the 12th iteration of its acclaimed Discovery Series, a masterful showcase of the art of blending. This release artfully combines four distinct whiskies, including a 6-year-old four-grain recipe distilled at Bardstown Bourbon Co., with older Kentucky bourbons aged 10 to 14 years. Presented at 115.2 proof, Discovery Series #12 features decadent aromas of baked cherry, toasted oak, vanilla cream, and hazelnut. The palate balances wood sugar and spice, leading to a lasting finish of coconut, red fruit, and caramel. Priced at $139.99, this release continues Bardstown’s tradition of innovation and excellence in whiskey crafting.
