Bardstown Discovery Series #7 750ml

Bardstown Bourbon Company's Discovery Series #7 is a blend of five sourced whiskeys assembled by Bardstown's blending team: two twelve-year Kentucky bourbons, a twelve-year Canadian corn whiskey, a seven-year Indiana rye, and a seventeen-year Tennessee whiskey, bottled at 114.5 proof. It's the first Discovery Series release to reach outside the US for a component, and that Canadian corn whiskey shows up as a softer, sweeter thread running under the rye spice and older, oakier bourbon notes. Expect a layered, high-proof pour with dried fruit, baking spice, and a long, warming finish. This is a release for whiskey drinkers who like tracking blending experiments batch to batch, not a straightforward bourbon.

How to drink Bardstown Discovery Series #7

Neat, in a glencairn or tulip glass, is the way to catch how the five components separate on the nose before they merge on the palate. A few drops of water helps at 114.5 proof if the heat is fighting the flavor; this one's too complex to bury in a cocktail.
