KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY DOUBLE BARRELED IN AMERICAN AND HUNGARIAN OAK

Our Discovery series highlights the art of blending, combining exquisite whiskies so the sum is better than any part. Discovery 13 transforms luck into legend with a bold blend of Kentucky Bourbon perfected with Hungarian and American Oak. This limited release embraces the mystery of its number, offering a whiskey that’s rich, layered, and for the first time, double-barreled in the Discovery series for added depth and distinction.

Tasting Notes
Double Barreling Discovery 13 in Hungarian Oak takes the classic flavors of this blend—caramel, vanilla, and dry fruit—and layers them with complex notes of baking spice, campfire ash, clove, cinnamon, and toffee. This rare combination produces something special to celebrate the intrigue of #13.

• T8ke's Tasting Notes: 
  • Nose: Full, rich, vibrant: baked apple, cinnamon, maple and an icing note pops on the nose. There's cherry, orange peel, fuji and red delicious apple, cinnamon, brown butter and delicious maple candies that just emanates. Tons of sweetness, oakiness begins to show after a moment in the glass with a hint of char, loads of baking spice and maple with some light pipe tobacco and creamy, decadent, vanilla bean. 
  • Palate: Rich and layered, the supple, pillowy, opulent texture of the old Canadian marries well with the rich, faintly brash qualities of the Kentucky whiskey. Delivering rich brioche and cinnamon, fatty syrupy dessert characters like caramel and toffee and praline with notes of pepper, bold oak, a hint of pipe tobacco and gobs of brittle this becomes a sneaky beast. Hints of marmalade and deep, luxardo cherry develop with airtime. 
  • Finish: Long, long, holding, grippy, balanced. There's oak, it holds, it carries all of the dessert character, baking spice, toffee and a faint show of honey before satisfying oak, apple bake, vanilla bean and more brulee takes over. 
  • Overall: A quiet giant, whisper loud in all the right way 

Lochs of Jura Barrel Finish began with a bespoke blend of straight bourbon and rye before spending an additional 32 months in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks sourced from Scotland's remote Isle of Jura. Previously used to mature single malt Scotch whisky, the casks contribute layers of ripe fruit, soft malt, subtle smoke, and maritime character while preserving the whiskey's rich bourbon foundation.

At Bardstown Bourbon, we are relentless in pursuit of flavor and no whiskey typifies this like the Isle of Jura," said Callaway. "With just 238 residents, Jura is not just remote - its location offers a unique fingerprint of flavor singular to these barrels."

For 32 months the team worked around the 59-gallon sherry casks, too large to be stored in the ricks and instead placed in aisles of the warehouse. The resulting fruit character was worthy of the minor inconvenience.

Recently awarded 99 points at the 2026 International Wine & Spirit Competition, the highest score given in this year's North American judging, Lochs of Jura Barrel Finish stands among the most acclaimed releases in Bardstown Bourbon Company's history. Presented at 104 proof, it offers a singular whiskey journey from a remote Scottish island to the Bourbon Capital of the World.

Inspired by the flavor profiles, aromas, and personalities of the two whiskeys, Archambault's original paintings offer a visual interpretation of each release, transforming the sensory experience of tasting into a new artistic medium.

The latest release in Bardstown Bourbon Company's acclaimed Discovery Series begins with an exceptional blend of 7, 10, and 11-year-old bourbons, showcasing the balance and complexity that have become hallmarks of the series. These high-floor barrels were selected for their balance of fruit and oak, making them perfect to take on the extra structure and sugar of double-barreling. A four-month finishing period in custom-made Garryana oak barrels adds subtle layers of spice and structure, complementing rather than overshadowing the mature Kentucky whiskey at its core.

This year's Discovery is the second Bardstown Bourbon release to explore this prized oak following the highly limited Distillery Reserve Cascadia released earlier this year.

Also known as Oregon White Oak, Garryana is native to the Pacific Northwest and grows most comfortably in the lush Willamette Valley. Prized for its strength and scarcity, its dense grain slows oxidation and evaporation and lends flavors like clove and nutmeg.

Presented at 112.8 proof (66.4% alc. by vol.), 2026 Discovery opens with layers of toasted oak, burnt sugar, and baked apple cobbler. Dried cherry and cinnamon bark emerge across the palate, leading to a long, warming finish accented by the distinctive influence of Garryana oak.
