Description

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Bardstown Bourbon Collaboration Foursquare Rum 107 Proof greets the palate with a bold, warming presence that makes it perfect for slow sipping on a cool evening or sharing among friends at a celebratory gathering. Bottled at 53.5% ABV, this bourbon is crafted in the United States and showcases an innovative partnership between Bardstown Bourbon Company and Foursquare Rum Distillery. The production process involves finishing Kentucky straight bourbon in ex-Foursquare rum casks, imparting unique character while maintaining the robust structure of American whiskey.

On tasting, layers of caramelized brown sugar, toasted oak, and tropical fruit unfold alongside subtle hints of molasses and baking spice from the rum cask influence. These flavors create a harmonious balance that stands up beautifully to smoky barbecue ribs, enhancing their savory depth while cutting through rich sauces. When paired with aged Gouda, the bourbon’s sweet spice and creamy undertones complement the cheese’s nutty complexity for an elevated tasting experience.
