Bardstown Collaborative Series.

Every Bardstown Collaborative Series release is two makers meeting in one barrel. Bardstown Bourbon Company brings the whiskey; a partner from somewhere else brings the cask. A winery. A brandy house. A brewery. A rum distiller half a world away. The bourbon goes into barrels those makers emptied first, and it comes out carrying something it could never have built on its own. Wine casks one season, Armagnac the next, stout barrels after that. Same distillery behind the spirit, a different collaborator behind every finish.

For collectors and enthusiasts, that's where the chase is. A rum-finished release pours nothing like one rested in wine casks; a brandy collaboration reads sweeter and rounder than a beer-barrel batch. Below is the working reference we keep at Cana, every Collaborative Series release in order, with the partner, the finish, the proof, and the notes that explain what each cask gave back.
