Bardstown Single Barrel For WHA 60.4% Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Single Barrel | Cask Strength | 60.4% ABV

The first ever Australian barrel pick from Bardstown Bourbon Company.

The Whiskey

At 6 years old, distilled on 2 January 2019 and matured in Warehouse D, 4th Floor, this single barrel captures everything we look for in a WHA pick.

At the time of sampling, it came in at 122.1 proof. Since then, it has settled into a final bottling strength of 120.8 proof (60.4% ABV).

What made this barrel special wasn’t just power, it was balance.

Not over-oaked. Not too hot. Just a beautifully composed bourbon that delivers richness, structure, and drinkability in equal measure.

Tasting Notes

Aroma
Oak and orange zest upfront, with layers of brown sugar and light tobacco.

Palate
Stone fruits and orange peel lead, followed by oak and brown sugar. A touch of barrel char adds depth, while a Werther’s-style caramel note softens and rounds everything out.

Finish
Long, coating, and gently warming, with lingering caramel and spice.

Summary
A seriously well-balanced cask strength bourbon. Rich, structured, and dangerously easy to go back to.
