Bardstown Bourbon Company's Collaborative Series: Silver Oak Edition is a masterful fusion of aged bourbons and fine wine craftsmanship. This limited-release expression showcases Bardstown's innovative approach to blending and finishing.

The bourbon is a blend of six straight bourbons sourced from five states, aged between 9 and 15 years:

• 25% Kentucky 14-year-old (75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley)

• 23% Tennessee 12-year-old (84% corn, 8% rye, 8% malted barley)

• 5% Georgia 12-year-old (80% corn, 10% rye, 5% wheat, 5% malted barley) 

This blend was then finished for 17 months in Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, imparting unique wine cask characteristics to the bourbon. 

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Aromas of baked strawberry, plum, roasted nuts, cinnamon, and cocoa. 

• Palate: A full-bodied experience featuring caramel and fig, leading to a lightly tannic balance of oak, spice, and blackberry. 

• Finish: Savory and spicy, balancing oak and blackberry with a subtle tannic edge, reflective of its Cabernet barrel finishing.
