Bardstown Bourbon Company Discovery Series #10

Bardstown Bourbon Company Discovery Series #10 is the tenth chapter in the distillery's celebrated blending series: a 114.24-proof (57.12% ABV) Kentucky whiskey blend in this 750mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Discovery Series is where Bardstown's blending team hunts down exceptional barrels from across the country and layers them into something greater than the sum of its parts. Series #10 blends five whiskeys: 62% 9-year-old Kentucky bourbon, 18% 13-year-old Kentucky bourbon, 8% 6-year-old Kentucky bourbon, 10% 10-year-old Georgia whiskey, and 2% 10-year-old Tennessee whiskey — bottled at full barrel proof with no chill filtration shortcuts.

Tasting notes (official release notes): toasted pecan, maple, and baked cherry lead on the nose; the palate opens with vanilla cream, hazelnut, and cocoa over deep oak; the finish is long and lasting with warm spice.

Why buy Discovery Series #10? Because it's one of the strongest blending exercises in modern bourbon — a cask-strength, multi-state blend from a distillery that treats blending as a discipline, not a compromise. Pour it neat next to other heavyweights in the bourbon collection, explore more from the Bardstown Bourbon Company brand collection, and compare with other high-proof pours in whisky.

Serving note: neat in a Glencairn; add a few drops of water to open the vanilla and hazelnut on the palate.

What is Bardstown Bourbon Discovery Series #10? The tenth annual Discovery release: a five-whiskey blend at 114.24 proof, led by 9- and 13-year-old Kentucky bourbons with Georgia and Tennessee whiskeys layered in.

What proof is it? 114.24 proof (57.12% ABV), 750mL.

Is it chill filtered? No — bottled at barrel proof for maximum flavor.

How does it compare to earlier Discovery releases? Same concept, new recipe: each release is a fresh multi-state blend, and #10 is one of the highest-proof entries in the series.
