{"product_id":"bardstown-bourbon-co-discovery-series-2026-release","title":"Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series 2026 Release","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bardstown Bourbon Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49293986496763,"sku":"Discovery2026","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/7654\/7742\/files\/bardstowndiscovery26-em.webp?v=1789068121","url":"https:\/\/thebourbonconcierge.com\/products\/bardstown-bourbon-co-discovery-series-2026-release","provider":"The Bourbon Concierge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
