Bardstown Bourbon "Discovery Series" #3

Release #3 of the Discovery Series Bourbon is the best yet with a deeply warm and rewarding flavor profile. 

Bardstown Bourbon Company is an amazing thing to behold. It is a remarkable facility that recently expanded to produce six million proof gallons of Spirit per year — making it one of the largest distilleries in the world.

But it is also a gleaming, modern building with sharp edges, having some of the most advanced technology for great Whisky-making.

Founded in 2013 with production hitting full stride in 2015, they started by filling their rickhouses with sourced Spirits to support their construction.

With massive amounts of product pre-sold out into the future, they are the central production for dozens of famous brands — including Jefferson’s, High West, James E. Pepper, and many more. But they carve out a selection to release under their own brand as well.

Bardstown Bourbon "Discovery Series" #3 is the third release in the Discovery Series. It’s a blend of three exceptional Bourbons — 45% thirteen year-old Indiana (likely MGP), 32% thirteen year-old Kentucky, and 23% ten year-old Kentucky.

All three are about 75% corn and have rye in the mash bill to one degree or another. And it’s bottled at 55% ABV. So, you know that there will be plenty of sweetness and heat.

But the stats are not enough. To understand how great this blended Bourbon is you’ve got to get a bottle for yourself.

Smartass Corner:
Bardstown Bourbon currently organizes their current releases into three categories. The Discovery series features sourced "discovered" Spirit. The "Fusion" series features in-house Spirit "fused" with sourced Spirit. The forthcoming "Origin" series will be all in-house production.
