Bardstown Bourbon Company continues to showcase its American Whiskey blending prowess with the releases of its Discovery #8 and Discovery #9.
The Discovery Series was designed to showcase the art of blending with an emphasis on old and rare whiskies sourced from a variety of origins. The latest release in the series, Discovery #8, features a unique blend of Kentucky bourbons, two Indiana ryes, and an aged Canadian whiskey. It represents the most rye-forward expression of any Discovery release to date and then takes things a step further by maturing the final batch with a custom selection of oak staves. Each oak stave was selected for its unique flavor profile ranging from French toast to Rioja barrels.
Discovery Series #9 features rare barrels of craft Georgia bourbon. The blend is structured around this profile, adding Kentucky bourbon, 17-yr. Tennessee whiskey, and a touch of sweetness from Canadian whiskey.
“We built this series to explore all of the ways you can take whiskey in new directions through thoughtful blending that pushes the boundaries of what’s been done before,” said Dan Callaway, Bardstown Bourbon Company VP Product Development and Hospitality. “Layering flavor and nuance, these limited releases continue to be truly singular in nature.”
Available now, Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Discovery #8 is presented at 114.1 proof and retails for $139.99 BBC’s Discovery #9 release is slated for a September release. It is presented at 112.5 proof for $139.99.
