He Broke the Bottle Opening It 😂 | Bardstown Bourbon Discovery Series #9 Review

Inside the Episode

Roger broke the top off trying to open it. Crystal almost jinxed him. And what was inside made it all worth it. 😂🥃Crystal and Roger crack open Bardstown Bourbon Company Discovery Series #9 — a masterclass in blending that combines four rare whiskeys into one bottle: an 8-year Georgia bourbon, a 12-year Kentucky bourbon, a 17-year Tennessee whiskey, and a 12-year Ontario whiskey. Coming in at 112.5 proof and $129, this is a bottle that demands your attention from the first pour.Vanilla. Caramel. Slight spice. A touch of scotch character from the malted barley. Nuttiness. A whisper of chocolate. Roger called it a certified dessert — and with up to 17 years of age in the blend, you can taste exactly why.They've toured Bardstown. They've met Steve McNally. They know this distillery. And Discovery Series #9 is exactly what you'd expect from a team that treats blending as its own art form. If you love bourbon — this one's for you.
