Bardstown Bourbon Company Bottled-In-Bond (originally launched under their "Origin Series" banner) is a notable milestone for the distillery, representing one of the first core releases distilled, aged, and bottled entirely in-house. In early 2026, Bardstown Bourbon Company introduced a major packaging refresh for this expression. The update removed the "Origin Series" text from the main label and shifted to a texturized, soft-touch label with bold lettering to maximize shelf visibility. While the bottle shape and label graphics have evolved, the premium 6-year-old wheated bourbon recipe inside remains completely unchanged. Specifications & Mash Bill According to the official specs on The Bardstown Bourbon Company, this release is a Wheated Bourbon crafted using locally sourced Kentucky grains. Because it carries the official federal "Bottled-in-Bond" designation, it is strictly produced during a single distilling season, aged in a government-bonded warehouse for at least 4 years (6 years in this case), and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). Age: 6 Years Proof: 100 Proof (50% ABV) Mash Bill: 68% Corn, 20% Wheat, 12% Malted Barley Tasting Profile Expert evaluations and consumer reviews from platforms like Breaking Bourbon and community whiskey groups emphasize a dessert-forward yet balanced profile: Nose: Offers a gentle, sweet start featuring honey, baked orchard fruits (like apple skins and pears), fresh bread, and light baking spices. Palate: Considerably more robust than the nose suggests. It features a smooth, creamy mouthfeel highlighted by yellow cake, vanilla icing, brown sugar, cocoa, and toffee, which are neatly balanced by oak and a distinct hint of almond torte. Finish: Medium-to-long and warming. It transitions into a pleasant peppery spice, showcasing toasted wheat, cinnamon, and a lingering touch of peach bread
