Straight Kentucky Rye Whiskey Age: 5-Years Proof: 123.2 Source: Bardstown, KY Mash Bill: Bardstown Bourbon Co. 95/5 Rye/Malted Barley Show Notes: The only barrel pick to ever happen next to a thoroughbred race track PursuitPolooza 2023 Tasting Notes: Ryan, master blender of Pursuit Spirits, identified this truly exceptional and unique barrel of Kentucky rye whiskey while blending the latest United Rye Batch #8CD. This was subsequently validated by its selection as the favorite by attendees at Pursuit Palooza.  This 95/5 KY Rye barrel was distilled by Bardstown Bourbon Company and was filled in a Kelvin toasted and #3 char barrel. This barrel stood out for its rich, sweet, fruity, and bold flavor profile. It's unlike any 95/5 rye profile on the market.  Nose: toasted oak, sherry, ginger, anise  Taste: brown sugar, honey, dry sherry, confectionery sugar, grape candy Finish: spicy ginger candy with slight hint of mint  About: Ryan Cecil and Kenny Coleman are the creators of Bourbo
