31: Discover Bardstown Bourbon Company


Listen Later

The Bardstown Bourbon Company is looking to mix things up in the Bourbon and American Whiskey industry.  It's taking on the big names like MGP (Midwest Grain Products) and becoming the new source of high quality spirits for non-distilling producers.  The Bardstown Bourbon Co. is also producing its own products and is mixing in some into older bourbons to produce blends that drink like much older bourbons.  

We sample two bourbons being produced by Bardstown Bourbon Company, The Fusion Series and The Discovery Series.  Hear our thoughts on each in the week's episode.

  • MGP Ingredients Stock Plunged as Aged-Whiskey Sales Dashed Spirits
  • Mark Gillespie (@WhiskyCast) says:
    • The key takeaway from that story was buried...when Gus Griffin told analysts that buyers were having trouble raising capital to buy large stocks of MGP's aged whiskey. Is that a short-term issue, or are investors starting to shy away from building new Bourbon brands?
  • Craft Whiskey: Sourcing to Distilling Transition 
  • Smooth Ambler Contradiction
    • At Smooth Ambler, after we began merchant bottling the whiskey we call Old Scout, it occurred to us that at some point it may be fun and interesting to blend a little of the delicious bourbon we source with the smooth and sweet wheated bourbon we distill here in West Virginia. With that notion in mind, Contradiction was born; a blend of whiskey we make with whiskey we do not.
