Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: Dessert-forward and aromatic. It opens with baked peach pie, vanilla frosting, and fresh-baked bread, with underlying hints of cocoa and orange zest.
- Palate: Indulgent and creamy. Expect a "smooth-as-silk" mouthfeel with flavors of toffee, honey nut cereal, and stone fruits. The malted barley adds a subtle earthy depth, while the wheat provides a gentle, gradual sweetness.
- Finish: Alluring and persistent. It exits with a drying oak spice, baking cinnamon, and a lingering touch of milk chocolate and toasted nuts.
Food Pairings
- Savory: Roasted Pork Loin with Apricot Glaze or Butternut Squash Soup. The bourbon's stone fruit and honey notes act as a bridge to the sweetness of roasted root vegetables and fruit-based glazes.
- Cheese: Aged Gouda or Creamy Brie. The nutty, butterscotch crystals in an aged Gouda perfectly mirror the bourbon's toffee notes, while the Brie complements its velvety texture.
- Sweet: Warm Apple Crisp or Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée. The "baked peach" and cinnamon notes in the spirit enhance the caramelized sugar and orchard fruit flavors of traditional comfort desserts.
About the brand
Bardstown Bourbon Company is a vanguard of the "New Kentucky" distillery movement, blending high-tech precision with deep tradition on its 100-acre campus. The Origin Series represents a historic milestone for the brand: it is their first line of 100% estate-distilled whiskeys, produced entirely in-house from grain to glass. This black-label "Wheated" expression is a tribute to the softer side of Kentucky bourbon, utilizing wheat as the flavoring grain to create a velvety, approachable profile that rivals legendary wheated labels.
