Why it's craft
Mizunara is a rare Japanese oak, and the blend rested in barrels made from it for 28 months. The base is four whiskeys aged 9 to 18 years from three states, none distilled by Bardstown, so the whiskey is sourced. It was sold only at the distillery in 375 ml bottles. Pritzker Private Capital has owned Bardstown Bourbon Co. since 2022.
