Title:
Bardstown Hokkaido Mizunara Oak Barrel Finish
Description:
Blend of bourbons aged 9-18 years and then finished for 28 months in six, 66-gallon barrels made of rare Japanese Mizunara oak - a bold maturation that reveals the full character of this elusive wood. Mizunara oak being more porous and containing fewer tannins.
Mashbill: Blend of 4 bourbons:
47% Kentucky 15 Years 75% Corn, 13% Rye, 12% Malted Barley
33% Kentucky 14 Years | 78% Corn, 10% Rye, 12% Malted Barley
15% Indiana 9 Years | 51% Rye, 45% Corn, 4% Malted Barley
5% Tennessee 18 Years | 84% Corn, 8% Rye, 8% Malted Barley
The whiskey is filled with dense, sweet flavors from start to finish, with prominent brown sugar, caramel, and honey throughout. Maple sugar candy, graham cracker, and vanilla custard mingle in, and there is even a nougat note that’s reminiscent of a Milky Way bar at the midpoint. There is very little spice influence to this whiskey, with just a hint of cinnamon on the nose and tapering baking spices in the finish, which is surprising given its proof and the fact that it contains a rye in the blend, as it instead leans heavily into a heavy, rich, mouthcoating, and dense delivery of velvety flavors that’s on point. It is hands down a fantastic pour.
Bottles are sold only at the Bardstown Bourbon Company’s distillery gift shop and its Louisville tasting room. It is also available to members of The Reserve, Bardstown’s whiskey club.
