Bardstown Chateau de Laubade Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bardstown Bourbon Company Collaborative Series – Chateau de Laubade is a blend of 12-year-old Kentucky bourbons and 10-year-old Tennessee bourbon aged in Laubade Armagnac casks for 16 months.

Blend:

Kentucky Bourbon 12 years: Corn 75% / Rye 13% / Malted Barley 12%

Tennessee Bourbon 10 Years: Corn 84% / Rye 8% / Malted Barley 8%

The bold Kentucky bourbon really balances with oak that is bursting with the fiery Armagnac character. The Tennessee bourbon provides a hint of citrus, which highlights Laubade’s unique floral notes.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Apricots, a combination of fresh and dried; caramel, pear & light cinnamon with some light floral notes, too; there’s cedar & oak; a touch of minerals & even a little milk chocolate; something deep and dark in the back; moderate alcohol
Taste: The Armagnac is more noticeable in the taste, although the complex apricot flavors are there, too; The sweetness is fruit-like, with oak and some minerals
Finish: The finish is long, with sweetness and fruit giving way to building spice, char and woodiness that linger for quite some time.
