Bardstown Bourbon Co. Collaborative Series Amrut Barrel Finished Review

Now, go to a quiet room, add earplugs if necessary, and place a large napkin over your head to capture all the crazy aromas you'll get from this—things like over-baked chocolate brownies, figs, prunes, bonfire embers, ganache, chocolate cake, pastry cream and a deeply charred barrel.

American Highway Reserve Bourbon Review

When it comes to American Highway Reserve, despite some older whiskey in this blend, it all smells young: new wood, green apple, cooked corn, dried rye and ethanol. Initially, the aroma is faint, but a few vigorous swirls moves it from non-existent to hot in the nostrils; from “Is anybody home?” to

Bardstown Bourbon Company Phifer Pavitt Reserve Collaborative Series #1 Review

Overall, I am big fan of finished “bourbons.” I will admit that before tasting this, I have paid $125 for a 10-year MGP bourbon finished in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels for 6 months finished and bottled from a place in California. It is very, very good.
