Bardstown Raises the Bar Significantly with Release Number Four of its Discovery series.
Video Review Transcription:
Say hello to Bardstown Discovery Series 4. Released in 2020 this bottle is a blend of three bourbons from Kentucky and carries a rather impressive 115 proof statement.
But what set’s this bottle apart from other premium bottles on the market is the ages of the three Kentucky bourbons used in this blend.
Discovery series 4 is composed of 55% 13 year-old barrels, 37% 15 year-old barrels, and 8% 10 year-old barrels.
That means on paper Discovery Series 4 is a 115 proof 12.5 year-old Kentucky bourbon. That pretty much sounds like a bourbon lovers wet dream, at least until you see it’s $130 price tag.
Luckily what’s in the bottle is as just as impressive as what’s on the label.
From nose to finish this a robust and complex bourbon with primary notes of sweet oak, caramel, chocolate, baking spices, and an array of secondary notes that you could spend hours trying to nail down.
As a whole Bardstown Discovery Series 4 is one of the best bourbon experiences you can have at any price point. Out of the 379 miles that span the great state of Kentucky, I’d be willing walk every single mile to find another bottle at its suggested retail price of $129.99.
In fact, I’m going to end this review right now and go pick-up another bottle while I still can. Thank you for checking out this review. Cheers all.
Final Score:
379 out of 379 Kentucky Miles (One of a kind of bourbon)
