My Notes
Bardstown is one of the more interesting distilleries right now, with their fusion sereis blending together various bourbons, some from their warehouse and some from other distilleries to make a masterful drink. The bottle I have right now is Batch 7.
From their website, batch #7 breaks down like this
Batch 7 is one of those rare bourbons that dont lean in on the sweetness factor. The oak and leather are very present on this drink, with a mix of carmalized sugar and toasted wood hiding behind the primary flavors. I would consider this a more advanced bourbon, where the ABV is a little higher and the flavor profile is a bit different than what you might think a bourbon is.
Bardstown is unique, I would prefer to sip this neat or with a single ice cube if you want to smooth out some of the alcohol burn. This could make for an interesting cocktail, playing with the wood forward flavors.
