Bardstown Offers Armagnac-Finished Bourbon
Kentucky-based Bardstown Bourbon Company has collaborated with French Armagnac house Château de Laubade to release their new creation – Bardstown Bourbon Company Château de Laubade – a bourbon finished in Armagnac casks.
Bardstown Bourbon Company Château de Laubade begins with 12-year-old Indiana Bourbon and is finished in Armagnac’s Gascony black oak barrels for 18 months, then bottled at 59.2% alcohol by volume [118.4 proof] and is said to contain notes of apricot, espresso and citrus.
Bardstown Bourbon Company Château de Laubade is being made available beginning in May 2020 for $125 per 750ml bottle.
