Title:
Bardstown Discovery Series #13
Description:
Discovery Series #13 are mixed, highlighting its unique double-barreled profile with American and Hungarian oak, which results in notes of rich dark fruit, baking spice, and toffee with hints of ashiness and toasted oak. Some reviewers appreciate its complex, experimental nature and good blending, while others find it a step down from previous releases like Discovery #12, preferring its unique qualities for a specific mood or mood rather than a daily drinker. It’s the first in the Discovery series to be double-barreled in both new American and Hungarian oak casks. A blend of four Kentucky straight bourbons aged 8 to 15 years, with the blend featuring bourbons from distilleries like Green River, Barton, and Heaven Hill.
Bardstown Discovery #13 lands in the ”soft recommend” territory. We generally consider a score of 35 or higher worth trying at a bar, while 40+ is bottle-worthy. This pour is beautifully complex, with layers ranging from candied almonds to tobacco, but it may not be for everyone. If you like wine-finished or tannic whiskeys, this is definitely worth exploring.
