Bardstown Bourbon Company's premier blend series.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBardstown Bourbon Company opened in 2016 in Bardstown, Kentucky — the self-proclaimed bourbon capital of the world — with a dual mission: produce their own whiskey from grain to glass, and collaborate with other distilleries on unique blending projects. The Discovery Series is the latter — a collaborative blending program that sources exceptional aged bourbon from partner distilleries and assembles it into a unified expression under Bardstown's direction.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDiscovery Series #2 centers on a 12-year-old Kentucky bourbon, with lighter accents from older and younger bourbons that add complexity without displacing the 12-year character as the dominant voice. The result is a bourbon with the depth of extended maturation, softened by the younger component's freshness and elevated by the older component's concentration. The tasting notes reflect this balance: layered maple and cinnamon on the nose, tannic oak and rich flavor on the palate, and a remarkable, enduring finish.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep amber with warm mahogany tones.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Layered maple, cinnamon, and ripe pear on top of aged leather — complex and inviting.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tannic oak embedded in rich, warm flavor — the 12-year backbone is evident throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remarkable and enduring — one of the longer finishes in Bardstown's lineup, fading gradually into warm oak spice.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bardstown Bourbon Company, Bardstown, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Blended\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCore component:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-year-old Kentucky bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discovery Series #2\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExplore all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Bardstown Bourbon Company Discovery Series?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Discovery Series is a collaborative blending program that sources aged bourbon from partner distilleries and assembles it into unified expressions.
