Bardstown Collaborative Series Silver Oak Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is a unique expression from the Bardstown Bourbon Company, known for its innovative approach to whiskey production. This bourbon is part of their Collaborative Series, which involves aging their bourbon in barrels previously used by other renowned producers. In this case, the bourbon is finished in Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, imparting a rich complexity to the spirit. The mash bill typically includes a high percentage of corn, complemented by rye and malted barley, though specific proportions are proprietary. The aging process in the Silver Oak barrels adds layers of dark fruit, vanilla, and oak to the bourbon's profile, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. With an ABV of around 50%, this bourbon offers a robust yet smooth drinking experience. It originates from Bardstown, Kentucky, a region celebrated for its bourbon heritage.
