Victoria Pineapple: A Tropical Twist on Bourbon Exploration - The Bardstown Bourbon Company - Nowhere We Won't Go
Some ideas can only be discovered by following your curiosity.
For our latest Barrel Finish release, that curiosity led us well beyond Kentucky and into the Caribbean, where we found something extraordinary: rum casks that had once held premium Caribbean rum aged with the prized Victoria pineapple.
Known for its small size, fragrant aroma, and remarkable sweetness, the Victoria pineapple leaves more than a memory behind. During the rum aging process, it imparts subtle tropical character into the spirit and, over time, into the oak itself. Those barrels eventually found their way to Bardstown, carrying with them a story we couldn’t resist exploring.
