Do Scott and Jake have what it takes to be the “World's Top Whiskey Taster”? We traveled to the Bourbon Capital on the World to hang out with some of the crew from Bardstown Bourbon Company. We are joined by Brandon and Sam to discuss the distillery's upcoming products and the World’s Top Whiskey Taster Competition. We even get a little test of our own as we sample and analyze 3 whiskey samples in a blind tasting. Listen in to hear how Jake and Scott fared in our own Top Whiskey Taster competition. 

Here’s the Lineup of Samples:

• Glass 1:  Discovery Series 5; 104.7 Proof; ​​a blend of four straight Bourbon whiskeys, hailing from Kentucky and Tennessee and aged between six and 13 years.  Discovery Series #5 has a suggested retail price of $129.99/750 ml.
• Glass 2: Distillery Collection - 13 Year Sourced Kentucky Bourbon finished 6 weeks in French Oak; 105 Proof
• Glass 3: 12 Year Kentucky sourced, 6 and 7 year old high rye sourced bourbon; experimental cask - ISC Toasted and Charred Barrel. 105 Proof Not available to the public yet.
