Bardstown Bourbon Company Fusion Series No. 8, 47.75%

Price: 65 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Ted Simmons Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Sweet and dessert-like on the nose, with notes of nutty cinnamon bun, flan, and candy apple. There is also a fruity earthiness there, like fig jam or apricot preserves spread on multigrain toast. The palate is luscious, creamy, and spiced, delivering apple pie à la mode and cream soda. With water, more spiced baked goods and lots of vanilla. Elongated earthiness on the finish, along with green apple and dark chocolate.
