  • The Daily Pour
  • By David Morrow
  • A rock-solid release from Bardstown. It dials up the Garry oak flavor and is overall a flavorful, nicely balanced expression.

  • Nose:

    The nose is quite heavy on spice: gingerbread, cinnamon, white pepper, macadamia, coconut, butterscotch, apple. The Garryana oak comes through quite prevalently.

  • Taste:

    On the palate, this whiskey is quite dry and oaky, with a nice viscosity to it. Big cinnamon vibe, plus cherry, a big tobacco note, macadamia, almond and clove

  • Finish:

    The finish is long and satisfying, with plenty of clove and cinnamon leading into leather and Garryana oak.

  • Overall:

    A rock-solid release from Bardstown. It dials up the Garry oak flavor and is overall a flavorful, nicely balanced expression.
