Bardstown Bourbon Co. Origin Series Straight Rye Whiskey – 750ml

Bold rye character meets innovative barrel finishing in Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series Straight Rye Whiskey, a distinctive Kentucky whiskey that showcases the distillery's commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and flavor. Produced entirely at Bardstown Bourbon Company, this six-year-old rye combines traditional American whiskey-making with an unconventional approach to barrel maturation.

Crafted from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, this expression begins with the vibrant spice and herbal complexity associated with high-rye whiskey. Following its initial maturation in new charred American oak, the whiskey is finished in custom barrels featuring alternating American oak and cherry wood staves.

The result is a rich, layered rye that balances bold spice with dark fruit, caramel, toasted oak, and subtle sweetness. Bottled at 96 proof, it delivers enough intensity for experienced rye enthusiasts while remaining approachable and versatile.
