Bardstown Discovery Series #10 Review
Light Glazed Donuts | Charred Oak | Caramel | Vanilla Cream | Powdered Sugar | Touches of Maple Candy | Sweet Scents Prevail
Nose
The nose of the Bardstown Discovery Series #10 is a pleasant mix of sweet notes that include glazed donuts, charred oak, caramel, and vanilla cream. Undertones of maple candy and powdered sugar add additional complexity to the nose. Sweet scents prevail, giving this sip a classic aroma.
Palate
A bouquet of rich, complex flavors erupt on the palate, producing a truly memorable sip. Vanilla cream, dry oak, caramel, dried cherries, baking spices, cinnamon powder, gentle rye spice, and light pie crust all exist in perfect harmony. This is highly flavorful whiskey that will keep your taste buds engaged for the entire sip.
Finish
The finish of this whiskey is somewhat dry and spicy, mainly due to the dry oak and leather notes. Hints of rye spice combined with flashes of dried dark fruits create a lasting aftertaste that is both enjoyable and memorable.
Overall
Discovery Series #10 by Bardstown Bourbon Company is a reminder that even though the company produces in-house distilled whiskeys, they clearly have what it takes to blend a well rounded sourced whiskey as well. With a complex and flavorful palate, and a nice combination of layered aromas and flavors, this is a whiskey worth seeking out.
