Taste: Corn mash, vanilla, sweet cream, spices
Bardstown Bourbon comes from the Willet Distillery, is a NAS and is aged around 4 years. It is a hard to nose at 50% abv with a hot finish. It is sweeter style bourbon and not really to my taste.
It is not a bad bourbon, but it lacks any complexity or depth in the flavor profile. It is overall a good bourbon and would work fine in cocktail or on the rocks. At the price point, I know half of the cost is taxes so it this to me is a very basic bourbon.
Willet is known to make some great bourbons, but this one just seems to be a mass market whiskey. It’s drinkable and will get the job done.
Prices around $50 and good, but nothing that impressive.
