Day Drinking with David: Bardstown Bourbon

Join K&L's Spirits Buyer David Othenin-Girard as he welcomes the good folks at Bardstown. We love the highly unique, expertly crafted whiskeys from Bardstown, named for the town at the epicenter of the Kentucky bourbon tradition. This distiller maintains a healthy respect for its roots while also pushing the envelope in its blending practices and collaborative ventures. They source barrels from top-notch breweries, distilleries, wineries, and cideries across the U.S. Their newest edition features barrels that once aged the world-famous Prisoner red wine, and the result is nothing short of pure hedonism. The quality curve is exponential here, and Bardstown Bourbon Company is a name to follow.
