Bardstown Bourbon’s First Estate-Distilled Collection Comes Of Age

Bardstown Bourbon Company announced recently the planned debut early next year of its first estate-distilled collection of whiskeys.

The new Bardstown Bourbon Origin Series, according to those behind it, consists of three distinct 6-year-old whiskies: Origin Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Origin Bottled-in-Bond and Origin Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey.  The full series, all of which has been distilled, aged and bottled onsite, will be distributed in early 2023 to retailers in 24 states, at the distillery gift shop, and via a number of online retailers.

“The Origin Series is the first opportunity to taste an expression that is 100 percent our whiskey,” said Dan Callaway, VP of Product Development for Bardstown Bourbon Co, in a prepared statement. “We’ve put years of patience into this bottle, waiting six years until we felt it was truly ready to share with the world. The full technical capabilities of our distillery are on display with these three bespoke products.”

In addition to the three core products, the launch of the Origin Series will include for the first time, a single barrel program for Bardstown Bourbon Co. A limited number of Origin Series Bourbon single barrels will be available annually for purchase by the barrel to on- and off-premise retailers. Each retailer will be able to hand-select their unique single barrel on-site at Bardstown Bourbon Co.

Specifics on each of the new Origin Series, including official tasting notes, are below.

Origin Series Bourbon

6-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This 36 percent high-rye mash bill showcases the best of classic bourbon with a burst of rye spice. A balanced blend of apricot, orange blossom, and mint rests on caramel, nutmeg, and rich oak unfolds on the nose. On the palate, waves of cinnamon and vanilla lead to a bold, signature lasting finish.

  • 36 percent rye
  • 4 percent malted barley

Proof:     96 proof (48% ABV)

Origin Series Bottled-in-Bond

6-year-old straight bourbon whiskey. This bourbon features 20 percent wheat in the mashbill, creating a beautifully balanced modern expression.  Baked peach with cream meets cocoa with hints of lemon on the nose. An indulgent, smooth mouthfeel of stone fruit and toffee leads to an alluring and enduring finish.

finished in custom barrels comprised of alternating toasted American oak and toasted cherry wood staves.
