Nose - There is an initial sweetness, caramel and apple (candy apple come to think of it), some ethanol, spice, both rye spice and baking spices. It almost smells like fall which is making me think this can be a perfect Halloween dram. A little bit of orange shows up. It is decently complex and balanced on the nose.
Palate - Well, that is very nice. Spice, oak, hint of peanut, and the orange shows up again. A dash of water brings out more fruit that was found on the nose and smooths out the palate. This is a very well-made whiskey, definitely recommend it.
Bardstown is becoming a favorite brand of mine and if they keep putting out hits like this, the releases are going to be an instant buy.
