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.
