🥃 Guided Bardstown Bourbon Tasting
A Bardstown Bourbon representative will guide us through four featured expressions, sharing the stories, techniques and flavors behind each pour.
THE FEATURED LINEUP
🥃 Bardstown Origin Series Kentucky Straight Bourbon
96 Proof | 6 Years
Bardstown’s flagship estate-distilled bourbon features a high-rye mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barley, giving classic bourbon character an added kick of rye spice.
🥃 Bardstown Origin Series Rye
96 Proof | 6 Years
A 95% rye whiskey finished in custom barrels made with alternating toasted cherry wood and oak staves. Expect layers of ripe cherry, toasted oak, cinnamon and spice.
🥃 Bardstown Origin Series High Wheat
106 Proof | 6 Years
Made with an unusually high 39% wheat mash bill, this estate-distilled wheated bourbon brings notes of ripe apricot, lemon, crème brûlée, oak and pastry with a full-bodied finish.
🥃 Bardstown 2026 Discovery
112.8 Proof | Limited Annual Release
A blend of 7-, 10- and 11-year bourbons finished for four months in rare Garryana oak from the Pacific Northwest. Look for toasted oak, burnt sugar, baked apple cobbler, dried cherry and cinnamon with a long, warming finish.
🍽 FULL DINNER INCLUDED
In-House Smoked Pork Loin
Tender, seasoned pork loin, smoked and sliced for serving.
Homestyle Potatoes
Savory seasoned potatoes
Fresh Green Beans
Slow-cooked green beans seasoned with classic homestyle flavors.
Housemade Bourbon Maple Bread Pudding
Warm, housemade bread pudding finished with a rich bourbon-maple sauce — featuring locally sourced Ackley’s Pure Maple Syrup.
The perfect sweet finish to an evening of bourbon.
🏴🥃 THE EXCLUSIVE POUR — LOCHS OF JURA
This one is NOT included in the standard tasting.
According to our Ohio allocation, only three bottles were available to us — and Wrock Bottom has all three.
Bardstown created Lochs of Jura by taking a custom blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskey and finishing it for an incredible 32 months in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks from Scotland’s Isle of Jura.
The result is a 104-proof whiskey with layers of vanilla crème, blackberry, toasted oak, spearmint, caramel, cinnamon spice and the influence of those Scotch whisky casks.
It earned an incredible 99 points at the 2026 International Wine & Spirit Competition.
Suggested Retail: $140.00 per bottle
🔥 EVENT-EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY
1 oz Lochs of Jura Pour — $20
Available only while our three bottles last.
This isn't just four glasses of bourbon sitting in front of you.
You'll hear the story behind each whiskey, learn what you're tasting and why, enjoy dinner, and experience everything from Bardstown's estate-distilled Origin Series to one of its newest limited releases.
Must be 21+ to attend.
