Best Cask-Finished Bourbon: Bardstown Bourbon Company Phifer Pavitt Reserve
This whiskey came out a few years back, but it is still available to purchase online. Bardstown Bourbon Company contract distills for other brands, but it also sources and blends some excellent whiskeys like this one to release under its own name. This is a 10-year-old Tennessee bourbon that was finished in barrels from the Phifer Pavitt winery in Napa, California.
