Mash bill
A blend of several whiskeys, so no single grain split.
75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley, 49% of the blend; 95% rye and 5% malted barley, 30%; and 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% malted barley, 21%. The first is an 11-year Indiana bourbon, the second a 10-year Indiana rye and the third a 12-year Kentucky bourbon, none of them Bardstown's own.

Why it's craft
The finishing barrels held Isle of Jura single malt Scotch, mostly ex-bourbon with some ex-sherry, and the blend rested in them for 32 months. It scored 99 points and Best American Whiskey at the 2026 International Wine & Spirit Competition. The three components were distilled elsewhere in Indiana and Kentucky, so the whiskey is sourced. Pritzker Private Capital has owned Bardstown Bourbon Co. since 2022.
