Bardstown has everything going for them. They may not have the history like most distilleries, but just about everything they do, they're killing it. It's a must tour stop if your doing bourbon trail.
I picked up the Bards BIB last weekend at TW, I like it and I get that dried apple skin, but I also get a little caramel apple from the nose too, I was looking at the white label one too but only picked up one from there
Great review. I got all three today and testing these 2 together with you. The 95% Rye was good but not for the added price. I love the High Rye mashbill best. Thank you. Congrats on winning Matt's contest.
I bought the Origin black label wheater BIB first and love it. Going to pick up the white label when I find it. In my area, black label is $49.99 and white label is $44.99. Nice price point for Bardstown using their own juice.
Dan, you’re crazy buddy! The wheater is PHENOMENAL! After visiting Bardstown a few times during the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, they are by far my favorite distillery right now. They’re doing some amazing stuff, the property is modern and beautiful. The food is KILLER. Most importantly…their juice is amazing. They have everything going for them right now. Mark my words, within the next 5-10 years when their distillate gets older, MGP is gonna be BBCo’s biatch 😂
Just picked up these two bottles a couple days ago. I think y’all’s breakdown of them is spot on. Looking forward to seeing what y’all have to say about the Rye when it’s out. GREAT content 👍🏼 Price: (Texas) White - $44 Black - $48
Last weekend I saw a couple of empty slots on the "what's new" shelves, looked at the stickers on the front edge and of course it was these Bardstown bottles. I'm looking forward to getting these to compare it to blantons...
Got to try all three expressions straight out of the barrel on a tour at the distillery. The wheated was closer to 125 out of the barrel and I really wish they had left it there. It was awesome at barrel-proof. The bourbon was good too, and the rye mash bill is pretty crazy and has a super interesting flavor profile. Looking forward to more stuff from Bardstown.
Yeah. The Barrel thieving tour was great. We enjoyed all of the barrels. I think I preferred the bourbon the most, but that is just my general bias. They were all good.
Got both of these. Really enjoy both Black label reminds me of some makers wood finishing LE’s White label tastes like an orange push pop for me and easily take it over Blantons Home run for both IMO
This hugely reminds me of the BT Kosher compare. They liked the rye over wheat with almost the same types of comments. And i was opposite there too. I like the consistency. Bardstown BiB is the best new BiB I've had.
Finally found a white label in San Diego for $39 at total wine. Grabbed the last one and exited try it out. Love the videos guys, keep up the good work!
These have not dropped in my area. but I was traveling this weekend and got to pick up a bottle of each. Been hearing great things about them. so looking forward to trying these when I get home. cheers. 🥃
I love both of these. Once the BIB opens up after a week or two I like it better than the high rye. I think they are both really good for the price point. Just think in a few years they may have 10-12 year bottles ready, single barrel picks, barrel proof etc. Exciting for another brand with good juice. Drinking finished MGP is starting to get old. Cheers!
totally agree. I'm not usually a "it's got to open up" guy, but that is absolutely the case for me on the BIB bottle. Tasted wayyyyy different the second time around.
I love the BIB, in fact I went out and bought two more bottles but wheaters fit my taste profile! Haven’t tried the white label will have to give it a try. Love the price point on both of these!
Tried the rye at a tasting event a few weeks ago. It's fantastic. I'm not mad at the white label Origin Series. It pairs really well with ginger, oddly enough. I tried the BiB and it's super good, but I haven't been able to find it in stores yet. Been a fan of Bardstown for a while. This should being in more fans for sure.
Got the white label and was really happy with how much I liked it. It can be a little dicey when a distillery starts to transition to using their own distillate. I'll be looking for a backup the next time I'm out.
Now I can see you guys blinding the Bardstown releases against blantons and rebel 100. It’ll be interesting what you compare the rye to when it’s released. Thanks for the review guys! Looks like I’ll have more bottles to buy
Love the content boys. I really love my BiB and can’t wait to try the white label when I can find it! I’m becoming a Bardstown fanboy…pretty much buy the bottle when I see a new one!
Sean and Dan: I just picked up the 96 proof Origin at Total Wine here in NorCal for $39 and you were right, this is A+ bourbon. May go back and stock up on another couple bottles before people figure this out!
Completely off topic but I appreciate your opinion, any good spots to hunt around Kalamazoo that you’re willing to share? I’ll be up that way from Indiana on Monday. Thx!
Definitely going to be worth the drive down to DE to grab these; probably after the rye drops so I can get all 3. Hearing nothing but rave reviews on these bottles. Well done, Bardstown.
The white label is currently my favorite sipping whiskey, haven't got the bib yet but I want to pick one up Edit: John J Bowman SiB is the real Blantons killer
Bardstown still isnt sold here sadly. I did get to share around a sample of 2022 gts tho. Most people were very disappointed lol. it completely lacks balance. Still good, but definitely my least fave gts of the ones ive had.
Bardstown has everything going for them. They may not have the history like most distilleries, but just about everything they do, they're killing it. It's a must tour stop if your doing bourbon trail.
I agree. The Bardstown tour is a must.
Grabbed the black label over the weekend! Delicious pour.
I picked up the Bards BIB last weekend at TW, I like it and I get that dried apple skin, but I also get a little caramel apple from the nose too, I was looking at the white label one too but only picked up one from there
Their New Essence Bottle in the background OOOO YESSSS!
Great review. I got all three today and testing these 2 together with you. The 95% Rye was good but not for the added price.
I love the High Rye mashbill best. Thank you.
Congrats on winning Matt's contest.
great recommendation! just picked a white label up for $40... what a steal

Price: (Texas)
White - $44
Black - $48
Just picked up the white label this weekend and looking forward to trying it this week! Definitely a fan of BBCo’s plan and whiskey!
tried both at a bar last week...enjoyed both but preferred the high rye
Both are very good, I do like the BiB wheater more
I’ve gotta say I dig the BIB Wheater!

45 and 50 here in the ole tip of the mitt, love em both
Got both of these. Really enjoy both
Black label reminds me of some makers wood finishing LE’s
White label tastes like an orange push pop for me and easily take it over Blantons
Home run for both IMO
This hugely reminds me of the BT Kosher compare. They liked the rye over wheat with almost the same types of comments. And i was opposite there too. I like the consistency. Bardstown BiB is the best new BiB I've had.
Both of mine had bitter finishes on neck pour. Will have to see once it’s been open few days if that changes

Just picked up the BIB and it's really great. I'll grab the white label next because it's got be good too.
I love both of these. Once the BIB opens up after a week or two I like it better than the high rye. I think they are both really good for the price point.

That BiB is fantastic. An easy buy for me
Haven’t seen them yet in GA, been looking and wanting to try either.
White label in MD is 39.99. Wheated 44.99. Both are fantastic!!
I love the BIB, in fact I went out and bought two more bottles but wheaters fit my taste profile! Haven’t tried the white label will have to give it a try. Love the price point on both of these!
Just got BIB. Phenomenal
Just picked up a bottle. My store only had 2 left so I grabbed one. I only paid $45. So, now I feel even better about my purchase.
Saw this today for 45 deff gonna cop soon
agree with you on the 1920 which has always been my goto. last bottle i got recently, did not hit the mark for me.
I need to get my hands on these!
I just got the white label and it’s has a similar taste and profile as the bottle of redemption high rye I have.
A Total Wine Rebel Distiller's Collection is one of my favorite bottles right now.
Picked up a bottle of white label today for $43.99 in South Ga
Is Blue Run a craft start ups… Just wondering where they fall…

The rye is best of the three new releases.. tried them at distillery
I bought both of those here in SC for $92 total, with tax. Great new item to add to the cabinet from Bardstown.
Have not seen them in Texas, yet.
I’m very surprised, white label is fantastic. I️ know being my luck some how it will become allocated because I️ finally bought it and like it.
White Label sounds like my jam!
Have a bottle of the BiB, dont have many wheaters to compare to but pretty good so far
Just picked up the white label for $42! Now I’m pumped to try it out
The "regular" bourbon I liked, I was not a big fan of the "bottled in Bond" though.
Love the content boys. I really love my BiB and can’t wait to try the white label when I can find it! I’m becoming a Bardstown fanboy…pretty much buy the bottle when I see a new one!
What is that blue Essence bottle on the shelf?
Holy crap! You two have crushed that WLW! 😮
I only got the BiB wheater and I feel like it's missing...something. It's way more savory than I was expecting, maybe.
I really like the rebel 10 year. The picks I've gotten have been 4 years 60% hot and extremely mouth drying
Great video guys. Hilarious.
Sean and Dan: I just picked up the 96 proof Origin at Total Wine here in NorCal for $39 and you were right, this is A+ bourbon. May go back and stock up on another couple bottles before people figure this out!
Tried the 100 proof origin next to fusion and discovery #7 and did not like it. I agree with Dan on this one.
Completely off topic but I appreciate your opinion, any good spots to hunt around Kalamazoo that you’re willing to share? I’ll be up that way from Indiana on Monday. Thx!
Definitely going to be worth the drive down to DE to grab these; probably after the rye drops so I can get all 3. Hearing nothing but rave reviews on these bottles. Well done, Bardstown.
Omg! I have Covid and can’t taste shit! I grabbed an Alec Bradley Project 40 and Evan Williams Bib to watch this video with. I so love you guys!!!!!!!
Y’all put a hurtin’ on that WLW
Sounds good 👍
Picked them up for $45 🇺🇸
Ha these were gone within hours at my local Binnys.
I preferred the white label to the BiB.
Do it again blind in about 3 weeks. The bib opens up into a real beauty
I've still yet to try anything from Bardstown. Maybe it's time I go hunting...
I have the white label and the first couple of pours have been kinda 'meh' for me. Something funky in there not jiving with me.
White label is a monster for the price, can't wait to blind it and see what fancy things it beats
7:30 😂
“Cheap wheat hater”. Exactly. Lol😂
Yes, in the origin series, the white label is the cheapest, but also the best
$45. A bargain in san Antonio
The white label is currently my favorite sipping whiskey, haven't got the bib yet but I want to pick one up
Edit: John J Bowman SiB is the real Blantons killer
46 for the rye 48 for the wheater in my area...have about a half bottle of each left...very good whiskeys and available that is the key here!
Lol the beam brainyurism 😂
Both are hitters.
Holy crap Dan sellout harder next time…..jk love you guys! Can’t wait to pick them up!
How long have you guys been friends? Don’t know but it looks like a long time.
And both of these showed up at Total Wine this Saturday in Upstate SC. Only one bottle in bond but 5 white labels. I grabbed the bottle in bond.
Both are great, and it seems like forever now.
If only I could find a single place near me that carries the BiB.....
Ok it’s time already for a blind with Blanton’s.
$45 in Ohio.. but that's pre tax, back in the day the shelf price included tax.
"Is this better than Blanton's?"
Didn't Blanton's win your blind against Rock Hill, Hancock, and Elmer? Lol
I enjoyed both of these, but the white label is by far my favorite.
Dan - if you don't have wlw or pappy 15 you can go eff yourself!
Me - if I had wlw or pappy 15 you could go eff yourself!
I think you've opened the door to a couple blinds in a future video.
Is this an ad
no, it's a review. Why would you think it's an ad?
No name tag and comments at top to start the video????
1920 is 💯 better
Blantons Killer.... .Blantons Isn't $50 anymore
Must be something going on. The chemistry between these two (reviewers) seems very forced…
