Awards/Reviews:
94 Points, #11 Top 20 Of 2025 - Whisky Advocate
"Bardstown's second collaboration with cognac house Maison Ferrand; this one is a blend of 9, 11, and 12 year old bourbons and a 6 year old rye, masterfully finished for 15 months in Ferrand's French oak cognac barrels. Spicy oak, vanilla cream, and anise on the nose, then an expansive palate of pear, apricot, and vanilla. Great texture and integration, finishing with cinnamon cake, café au lait, and spice."

"One of the Best Cognac-Finished Whiskeys You Can Find." - Robb Report
"Delicate, sweet, and a genuine pleasure to sip. Despite being more than 55% ABV, the amber whiskey drinks way below its proof point, and has a rich, playful nose. All in all, the Ferrand II collaboration is a standout example of what happens when blending and finishing all hit their mark." - Forbes
