Bardstown Bourbon Co. Foursquare Review
The Bardstown Bourbon Co. is a relatively new player in the bourbon game, having been founded in 2014. Despite their young age, they’ve already made a name for themselves with their excellent bourbons, and their collaboration with Foursquare Rum Distillery has resulted in some truly outstanding releases.
The Collaboration with Foursquare Rum Distillery
It might seem odd that a bourbon distillery would collaborate with a rum distillery, but it actually makes perfect sense. Both of these spirits are aged in oak barrels, and the barrels themselves can have a huge impact on the flavor of the final product.
The collaboration resulted in three different bourbons, each of which was finished in a different type of Foursquare rum barrel. These releases were highly anticipated by bourbon enthusiasts, and they did not disappoint.
The Three Releases
Discovery Series #1
The first release in this collaboration was the Discovery Series #1. This bourbon was finished in Foursquare’s Zinfandel cask, and the result is a complex and flavorful bourbon with strong notes of red fruit and caramel. It has a long finish that leaves a sweet and spicy aftertaste.
This bourbon is bottled at 101 proof, and it has quickly become a favorite among bourbon enthusiasts. The supply is limited, so if you see a bottle on a shelf, don’t hesitate to grab it.
Discovery Series #2
The second release in this collaboration was the Discovery Series #2. This bourbon was finished in Foursquare’s Premise cask, and the result is a smooth and rich bourbon with strong notes of vanilla and baking spices. It has a long finish that leaves a warm and comforting aftertaste.
This bourbon is bottled at 98 proof, and it’s just as delicious as the first release. It’s a little easier to find than the Discovery Series #1, but it’s still limited in supply.
Phifer Pavitt Reserve
The third release in this collaboration was the Phifer Pavitt Reserve. This bourbon was finished in Foursquare’s Dominus cask, and the result is a truly exceptional bourbon with strong notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and leather. It has a long finish that leaves a smoky and complex aftertaste.
This bourbon is bottled at 100 proof, and it’s the rarest of the three releases. It was produced in very small quantities, and it’s only available at a few select retailers. If you’re lucky enough to come across a bottle, you won’t be disappointed.
Conclusion
The Bardstown Bourbon Co. and Foursquare Rum Distillery collaboration resulted in some truly outstanding bourbons. Each of these releases is unique and delicious in its own way, and they’re all definitely worth seeking out.
While the supply is limited, it’s still possible to find these bottles if you’re willing to put in some effort. And trust us, the effort is definitely worth it.
