Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Bardstown Bourbon Chateau De Laubade Armagnac Casks wraps you in a warm, spiced embrace, where ripe stone fruit and toasted oak mingle with a subtle whisper of dried apricot and fig. Crafted in the United States and bottled at 57.90% ABV, this bourbon’s journey through Armagnac casks imparts layers of candied orange peel, cocoa nibs, and a touch of leather that lingers on the palate. Its bold structure stands up beautifully to rich dishes like duck or the bittersweet depth of dark chocolate, making each pairing an experience worth savoring.
