Bardstown Collaborative Series Silver Oak Cabernet Barrel Finish Blended Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Bardstown Collaborative Series Silver Oak Cabernet Barrel Finish Blended Bourbon Whiskey is a striking example of boundary-pushing craftsmanship, uniting the best of bourbon and wine in a masterful collaboration. This limited-edition release is the result of Bardstown Bourbon Company’s innovative blending techniques and the legacy of Silver Oak Winery’s iconic Cabernet Sauvignon casks. The result is a bourbon that offers the rich, bold character of Kentucky whiskey, enhanced by the refined complexity of Napa Valley’s world-class wines.

From the first nose, this bourbon captivates with a harmonious blend of aromas. Rich dark fruit—think ripe blackberries and cherries—melds seamlessly with bourbon’s classic vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak notes. The influence of the Silver Oak Cabernet barrels brings a delicate layer of red wine complexity, adding nuances of tannins and subtle spice that deepen the aroma profile. 

On the palate, the experience is nothing short of luxurious. The bourbon’s base delivers flavors of creamy toffee, sweet corn, and caramelized sugar, while the wine finish adds layers of dried fruit, cocoa, and a touch of black pepper. The interplay between the bourbon’s richness and the elegant red wine tannins creates a beautifully balanced, multi-dimensional flavor that evolves with every sip. The mouthfeel is velvety, and the higher proof amplifies the depth without overwhelming the palate. 

The finish is long and rewarding, leaving behind lingering notes of dark chocolate, spice, and a trace of Cabernet’s signature earthiness. This barrel-finished bourbon is a masterclass in how wine cask aging can add depth and sophistication without overshadowing the spirit’s core essence.

Perfect for sipping neat, this bourbon is a must-try for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate the art of blending and barrel finishing. Bardstown Collaborative Series Silver Oak Cabernet Barrel Finish Blended Bourbon Whiskey is a bold yet refined exploration of what bourbon can become when two legendary crafts meet.
