Bardstown Bourbon Company Ferrand Cognac Cask Finish II

Experience the exquisite blend of American craftsmanship and French elegance with the Bardstown Bourbon Company Ferrand Cognac Cask Finish II. This limited-edition release is a standout in the Collaborative Series, offering a unique transatlantic marriage of flavors. Crafted with precision, this whiskey combines highly-aged Kentucky Bourbon with Bardstown’s own rye whiskey, finished for 15 months in rare Maison Ferrand Cognac casks.

What Makes It Special?

This whiskey is a true triumph of innovation, earning a Double Gold Medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The blend features a high-proof combination of Straight Whiskey aged between 6 to 12 years, with a secondary finish in Maison Ferrand Cognac casks. The introduction of Bardstown’s high-rye component adds spice and structure, perfectly balancing the rich, fruity influence of the Cognac barrels.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Decadent black cherry, toasted oak, and vanilla cream.
• Palate: A complex mix of baked apple, pecan, and raisin, with a hint of rye spice.
• Finish: A harmonious blend of rich bourbon and premium cognac, with a touch of mint.

How to Enjoy

For the best experience, savor this whiskey neat in a Glencairn glass to appreciate its full-bodied balance of French fruit and American spice. Adding a few drops of water can open up layers of dark cherry and vanilla cream. Its unique profile also makes it an excellent choice for a refined Vieux Carré or an elevated Old Fashioned.
