Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series #13

Description

Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series #13 is a bold, limited‑edition release from Bardstown Bourbon Company, celebrated for pushing the boundaries of modern bourbon craftsmanship. This standout expression marks the first double‑barreled bottling in the acclaimed Discovery Series — finished in both American oak and Hungarian oak barrels to create a richly layered and highly complex Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that demands attention.

Crafted from an expertly balanced blend of four Kentucky straight bourbons aged 8 to 15 years, Discovery Series #13 exemplifies the art of blending — where the sum of its parts becomes greater than any individual whiskey. After the initial blend, the bourbon is split and finished in two different oak varieties for four months, then married and bottled at a robust 110.8 proof (55.4% ABV).

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep amber with rich copper highlights, inviting the eye before the first sip.

• Nose: Warm caramel, classic vanilla, and dried fruit aromas framed by toasted spice and oak.

• Palate: Bold, multidimensional layers of rich toffee, clove, cinnamon, and subtle campfire char — enhanced by the interplay of American and Hungarian oak influence.

• Finish: Long, warming, and complex with lingering oak tannins, spice, and gentle sweetness.

Discovery Series #13 shines as a fusion of tradition and innovation, perfect for bourbon collectors, seasoned enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a standout bottle that delivers both depth and distinction.
