The Bard Distillery Cinder & Smoke 13 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750 ml

Cinder & Smoke is a 13-year straight bourbon whiskey from The Bard Distillery in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, a region historically tied to bourbon's coal-mining heritage. Thirteen years is a substantial age statement for bourbon, meaning extended contact with new charred oak that typically deepens caramel and dried-fruit character while adding heavier tannin. Expect dark oak, leather, and toffee on the nose, a rich, tannic palate, and a long, smoky-edged finish consistent with its name. It's built for bourbon drinkers specifically seeking out extended-age, small-distillery releases.

How to drink Cinder & Smoke

Let it sit neat in the glass for a few minutes before tasting; thirteen years of oak needs air to settle before the fruit notes come forward.
