Bardstown Bourbon Company The Prisoner Straight Bourbon Whisky 10 Years Old

Nose: With my first whiff, my senses were engaged by the raw sugar and oak. With the final aging process of this bourbon taking place in Prisoner wine barrels, I also noticed a port-like note that worked very nicely with the gentle hint of citrus that chased the other smells down.

Palate: From the get-go this bourbon exhibited a buttery soft texture, gentle heat and an oaky finish. Brown sugar and stone fruit blended to add a hint of a white port that I noticed on the nose. My final observations brought about a bit of a spicy nature I associate with coffee cake and a hint of orange peel that rounded out the overall flavor profile.
