Bardstown Bourbon Company is kicking off Bourbon Heritage Month with two new offerings, Silver Oak finish (Collaborative Series) and Discovery 12.
Silver Oak offers a blend of six different bourbons that then spent an additional 17 months in Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet barrels. The Discovery series is where Bardstown Bourbon Company flexes its muscles and really shows off its whiskey blending skills.
Silver Oak Finish
Tasting Notes (from the distillery): “On the nose, layers of baked strawberry, plum, and roasted nuts are highlighted by cinnamon and cocoa. A full-bodied palate of caramel and fig leads to an exquisite, lightly tannic balance of oak, spice, and blackberry, striking a noteworthy balance of fruit and barrel notes.”
ABV: 54%
SRP: $159.99
Blend: Six 9-to-15-year-old bourbons.

“In age-old crafts like winemaking and distillation, creating something new requires curiosity. This is an ethos that Silver Oak and Bardstown share, be it in the way we connect with our customers in the Napa Valley or Kentucky, or exploring the horizons of our shared passion, American oak.”
Discovery 12
Tasting Notes (from the distillery): “Baked cherry, toasted oak, vanilla cream, and hazelnut create a decadent, complex aroma. On the palate, a balance of wood sugar and spice gives way to a lasting finish of coconut, red fruit, and caramel.”
ABV: 57.6%
SRP: $139.99
Blend: Four whiskies.
“The Discovery Series highlights the art of blending, creating exciting expressions that together are greater than the sum of their parts. Through artfully combining rare and exemplary whiskies we discover from all over the world, this series pushes the boundaries of innovation by creating completely unique flavor profiles and styles. Each release provides something new to discover.”
