Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series 11 Review
Loads of tropical fruit and lilac lead on the nose followed by orange lemon zests and a hint of dried grain. The deeply toasted oak reminds you that a 13-year-old bourbon makes up the bulk of this blend.

Old Hickory Hermitage Reserve Barrel Proof Whiskey Review
