Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: What is the "Bardstown Bourbon Company Private Select" program?
A: It is a program where retailers and partners can visit the distillery to taste from a selection of individual barrels of Bardstown's own distillate and choose a specific one to be bottled exclusively for them. Each selection is unique.
Q: What is a "high-rye" bourbon?
A: A "high-rye" bourbon, like this one with 36% rye, uses a much higher percentage of rye grain than typical bourbons. This results in a spicier, more robust flavor profile that balances the sweetness from the corn.
Q: Who is Sweet Tooth?
A: Sweet Tooth is the iconic, flame-headed clown mascot of the popular vehicle combat video game series Twisted Metal, which has also been adapted into a television series. The 'Twisted Origin' theme is a nod to this character.
Q: How should I drink this high-proof bourbon?
A: Given its high proof and complex flavor, this bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas and slightly temper the alcohol. A single large ice cube also works well to slowly chill the spirit.
Q: Where can I purchase the 'Twisted Origin' Single Barrel?
A: This is an exclusive private barrel selection. We recommend contacting our preferred retail partner, Nestor Liquor, to inquire about their inventory and availability.
