Bardstown Collaborative Series Foursquare Rum Finish Blended Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Bardstown Collaborative Series Foursquare Rum Finish Blended Bourbon Whiskey is a daring and exotic blend that brings together the bold flavors of Kentucky bourbon and the tropical richness of Foursquare Rum’s legendary casks. As part of Bardstown Bourbon Company’s renowned Collaborative Series, this limited-edition release showcases the brilliance of barrel finishing, where bourbon meets the warm, spice-laden character of Barbados rum, resulting in an unforgettable, complex whiskey that dances between sweetness and spice.

On the nose, this bourbon greets you with inviting aromas of ripe banana, molasses, and brown sugar, underscored by bourbon’s classic notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. The Foursquare Rum cask influence is unmistakable, adding an enticing tropical fruitiness and a hint of exotic spices. Each inhale reveals new layers, including dried pineapple, coconut, and a delicate, warm spiciness that promises an adventure in every sip.

On the palate, the magic of this collaboration unfolds with a rich, velvety mouthfeel. The bourbon base delivers familiar flavors of sweet toffee, vanilla, and creamy caramel, beautifully complemented by the rum cask’s addition of spiced oak, nutmeg, and a whisper of clove. A subtle wave of tropical fruits—think papaya, mango, and hints of citrus—brings a brightness that balances the richness of the bourbon. The influence of the Foursquare cask shines through without overpowering the bourbon’s core, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness, spice, and complexity.

The finish is long, warming, and layered, with lingering notes of rum-soaked oak, vanilla, and a touch of dark chocolate. The subtle spice from the rum cask leaves a lasting impression, making each sip a journey that ends with a perfectly balanced conclusion.

Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or as part of a craft cocktail, Bardstown Collaborative Series Foursquare Rum Finish Blended Bourbon Whiskey is a bold exploration of flavor, perfect for those who appreciate innovation and craftsmanship in their whiskey.
