Bardstown Bourbon Company Distillery Reserve Hokkaido Mizunara Oak

Description

Bardstown Bourbon Company Distillery Reserve Hokkaido Mizunara Oak Barrel Finish is a transcendent fusion of Kentucky and Japanese craftsmanship. Launched on July 11, 2025, this small-batch blend of 9- to 18-year-old whiskeys is finished in six rare 66-gallon Mizunara oak barrels from Hokkaido for 28 months. Bottled at 109.3 proof in a 375ml bottle, its golden amber hue captivates. Each sip weaves caramel, sandalwood, and umami spice.

This blend—47% 15-year Kentucky bourbon (75% corn, 13% rye, 12% barley), 33% 14-year Kentucky bourbon (78% corn, 10% rye, 12% barley), 15% 9-year Indiana rye (51% rye, 45% corn, 4% barley), and 5% 18-year Tennessee bourbon (84% corn, 8% rye, 8% barley)—is aged in Warehouse H for rapid extraction, then Warehouse E for balance. Master Blender Dan Callaway calls Mizunara’s unpredictable nature a “tribute to craftsmanship.” Isn’t it time to chase this singular dram? Limited to ~4,000 bottles, it’s a 2025 standout, lauded by many critics.
