Bardstown Bourbon Co. 2026 Discovery blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskies 750ml

Bardstown Bourbon Company 2026 Discovery is the distillery's annual blend of straight bourbons: 55% seven-year Indiana bourbon, 25% ten-year Kentucky bourbon, and 20% eleven-year Kentucky bourbon. The blend rested four months in hand-harvested Garryana oak barrels from Oregon with a custom three-hour toast and is bottled at 56.4% ABV (112.8 proof). Layers of toasted oak, burnt sugar, and baked apple cobbler lead the nose, with dried cherry and cinnamon bark on the palate and a long, warming finish carrying the Garryana oak character. It is built for bourbon drinkers who follow annual releases and like a blend that tastes different from the usual.

How to drink Bardstown Bourbon Company 2026 Discovery

Neat, in a small glass, so the Garryana oak and burnt sugar get a clear run; add a few drops of water if 112.8 proof runs hot. It is too layered to bury in a cocktail, but a single cube is fine.
