Bardstown Bourbon Company Normandie Calvados Brandy Barrel Finish is a bourbon that has been given additional maturation in Calvados brandy casks. For a new drinker, that usually means familiar bourbon richness layered with a more fruit-forward accent from the finishing barrel.
At 52.1% ABV, it is a full-strength pour with a bolder, more concentrated style than many standard bottlings. Expect a combination of bourbon sweetness, oak, and spice alongside notes suggestive of apple and orchard fruit from the cask finish.
