It is marketed by CVI Brands of San Carlos, California.
Whom they bought the bourbon from is not known, speculation is Heaven Hill.
If anyone has more info on who made this bourbon I'd like to know.
If that is the case then Max and Parker sold them better stuff than what they sell to KBD, but that is another story.
I have 4 bottles of it, the 11, 14, 16 and 21 year old. I have not opened the 21 yet and I did like the other 3.
My only complaint is, that while good, I think it is over priced.
Try the 16yo, I don't think you will be disappointed.
My understanding (it is certainly not the only one) is that:Quote:

Since then, there are Bardstown bottlings from KBD. I wouldn't assume these bottlings are all HH or even that any one bottling is from just one distillery's juice.

Ah yes, now that you mention it I do remember now hearing this about JVWinkle.Quote:

These are all pretty much gone now from store shelves. They have been replaced by a BMH "Small Batch". I wish I could still buy the old stuff.Quote:

Has anyone had any of the Lawerenceburg bottles?
How does it compare to the Bardstown?
Lawrenceburg BMH 14 is like a Pappy 15.Quote:

So, if one were to come across a BMH age statement bottling, especially a 14 year, it would be worth purchasing?Quote:
