Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series Wheated Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon Whiskey

A velvety, refined wheated bourbon proudly honoring tradition—with creamy warmth, balanced sweetness, and a subtle fruit echo. It’s pure bourbon craftsmanship, bottled neatly at 100 proof and ready for thoughtful sipping.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Crafted by Bardstown Bourbon Company as part of its inaugural Origin Series (2023), this Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon features a mash bill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. Aged for six years, it meets the Bottled-in-Bond criteria: made by one distiller, one season, aged in a bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).

Tasting Profile

• Aroma: Gentle and inviting—notes of fresh-baked peach bread, creamy vanilla, light honey, wheat, and a soused, almost whipped-cream-like finish.
  

• Palate: Smooth and baking-inspired—think peach bread, creamy toffee, cocoa undercurrent, with zesty lemon or almond overtones; a soft peppery warmth follows.
  

• Finish: Warm with dry undertones—fresh wheat bread, light oak char, peppery spice, and a touch of sweet cream lingering graciously.
  

Community Perspective

"By far the most successful of the three Origin Series... balanced sweetness that's complex and a whiskey with a desirable mouthfeel.

It’s recognized for its maturity compared to other recent BBCo releases—its age and structure setting a confident foundation for the distillery’s direction.
