The latest Fusion release from Bardstown Bourbon Company is balanced, flavorful delight.

Bardstown Bourbon Company is a remarkable facility recently expanded to produce six million proof gallons of Spirit per year — making it one of the largest distilleries in the world. But it is also a gleaming, modern building with sharp edges and the latest in scientific tools for great Whiskey-making.

Founded in 2013, they started by filling their rickhouses with sourced Spirits to support their construction. With massive amounts of product pre-sold out into the future, they are the central production hub for dozens of famous brands — including Jefferson’s, High West, James E. Pepper, and many more. But they carve out a selection to release under their own brand as well.

Bardstown is a lesson in transparency — which we love. And they are Bourbon nerds, just like us. So, whenever we get our hands on a new release from them, they always provide a TON of detail.

Bardstown Bourbon "Fusion" Series #5 is comprised of four Bourbons — 56% in-house, four year old Bourbon with a mash bill of 70% corn, 18% rye, and 12% malted barley; 14% in-house, three-year-old Bourbon with a mash bil of 60% corn, 26% rye, 10% wheat, and 4% malted barley; and 30% a source Kentucky Bourbon aged eleven years with a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. And this blended wonder-dram is bottled at 47.45% ABV, so you know you are going to be able to savor every drop.

Smartass Corner:
Bardstown Bourbon currently organizes their releases into three categories. The Discovery series features sourced "discovered" Spirit. The "Fusion" series features in-house Spirit "fused" with sourced Spirit. The forthcoming "Origin" series will be 100% in-house production.
