- COLLABORATIVE SERIES #2: The 2nd iteration of its collaboration with Calistoga-based winemaker Phifer Pavitt
- FUSION SERIES #4
- DISCOVERY SERIES #4
COLLABORATIVE SERIES #2
Bardstown Bourbon Company Phifer Pavitt Collaborative Series (100 proof/50% ABV) $124.99/750mL
The latest addition to Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Collaborative Series features an exceptional 10-year-old Tennessee whiskey finished for 18 months in Phifer Pavitt’s decadent cabernet sauvignon barrels.
“This collaboration is the epitome of Phifer Pavitt’s mission to swing for the fences,” said owner Suzanne Phifer Pavitt.
The 2019 Bardstown Bourbon Company Phifer Pavitt Reserve was awarded both Double Gold and Best in Class for finished bourbons at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
FUSION SERIES #4
Bardstown Bourbon Company Fusion Series 4 (94.9 proof/47.45% ABV) $59.99/750mL
Each blended bourbon in the series is created and voted on by team members from the distilling, culinary, beverage and visitors experience programs in a blind tasting tournament-style process.
The winning Fusion #4 recipe features a blend of a 13-year-old bourbon and three of Bardstown Bourbon Company’s own three and four-year-old products, which was developed by visitors experience representative Vince Metcalfe.
“I am really honored that my blend was chosen by the panel, especially since it was my first time having been part of the process,” said Metcalfe. “Being part of the visitors experience team, I get to see people try our products for the first time every day, so I am excited for others to try this blend.”
DISCOVERY SERIES #4
Bardstown Bourbon Company Discovery Series 4 (115 proof/57.5% ABV) $129.99/750mL
Discovery Series #4 includes a high-rye 13-year-old bourbon alongside 15 and 10-year-old bourbons, and was created by Bardstown Bourbon Company Kitchen & Bar executive chef James-Stuart Plush.
“I am really pleased with the final product and think that the age comes through,” said chef Stu. “While it is bottled at 115 proof, it is definitely something that I personally would be able to sip neat.”
