Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery 10 review

Tasting Notes

About:

114.24 proof, 57.12% ABV, aged minimum 6 years, 750mL, SRP $139.99
Appearance:
Light toffee, very translucent. Slow, unevenly spaced legs.
Nose:
Lightly sweet and woody, with forest floor notes coming through. Think vegetal and mushroom, rather than dank.
Palate:
Honeyed start, but also a lot of spicy heat. Soft chocolate and nut notes come in after the heat burns off a bit. Strong cherry flavors carry through into a long finish. Very soft texture.
Finish:
Comments:
As someone who generally drinks whiskey at cask strength, I found this so hot and complex that it quite frankly needed a touch of water to be an enjoyable sipper, and even to get the full flavor out of it. I’m impressed by the depth of flavor that this whiskey has to offer, and quite frankly found it delicious.

Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by The Whiskey Wash or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.
