Bardstown Bourbon Company "Discovery Series #9" Blended Whiskey

The Discovery line from Bardstown has been one of those slightly controversial releases because Bardstown is not afraid to take chances here, lots of old timers are skeptical. That's of course until they taste it! Previously releases have transitioned from Older KY juice to TN, KY blends, but the big change was the addition of Canadian Corn whisky. Now we've got a totally unique blend of 4 states, 4 mashbills, 3 ages, included an 8 year old whisky from Georgia which will be an absolute first for me. In addition to this unique blend, we've managed to push the price down significantly, making this one of the best Disco Deals yet. That's if it tastes as good as we'd expect. Let's have a go! Gorgeous nose of burnt sugar, buttercream, charred citrus, sweet oak and vanilla. It's a very appealing but hard to pin down style. It doesn't fit nicely into any standard American Whisky category. It really loves air and opens more into a complex grade B maple syrup and raisinets. On the palate it's rather nutty, sweet and creamy. Lots of roasted fruits, toasted vanilla, hints of Dickel mineral, but nicely balanced by a rich chocolate notes and spicy finish. This is damn good whisky, perfect for when you want something that's ultra complex and mature, but you don't want to pull the ultra fancies off the shelf. Considering the quality, age and unique character this is an exceptional deal. We have the killer price and mini-exclusive now, but when it goes broad market expect to pay at least $30 more a bottle, so now's your chance to try before the prices go up!
