Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series #11 arrives at 118.1 proof. Priced at $139.99, we assessed it with care.
Nose
Very proto-typical mid to slightly older, well aged Kentucky bourbon colors going on here brown, orange, clean. Legs in glass have nice viscosity.
Palate
Orange blossom, graham cracker, brown sugar, some vanilla. Reflection of a range of notes youd find in a well put together Kentucky bourbon blend.
Finish
Drinks a bit hot, kicking in some cinnamon, oak, vanilla, cloves, black pepper and cherry very slightly. Finish hangs for a bit, trailing off little by little as it leaves a spicy warmth behind.
Verdict
Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series #11 delivers a thoroughly accomplished whiskey that justifies its $139.99 price point. It is well-crafted, balanced, and worthy of a place in any considered collection.
