The Bardstown Bourbon Company Straight Rye Whiskey Origin Series Finished In Toasted Cherry Wood And Oak Barrels 6 Yr is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, offering a unique and compelling rye whiskey experience. After aging for six years, this 95% rye whiskey receives a finishing touch with a six-month maturation in hybrid American oak and cherrywood barrels. This finishing process imparts a distinctive character, resulting in an earthy and sweet nose filled with aromas of mixed berries, wet walnuts, black tea, Fruit Roll-Ups, and lemon pastilles. The addition of water reveals a buttery quality, which carries over to the palate, where flavors of chocolate, pistachio, banana bread, dried herbs, and subtle hints of citrus unfold. The mid-length finish is characterized by more nutty banana bread and a delightful chocolate-orange essence.
