Kentucky Owl Wiseman’s Bourbon: Batch 9
It’s not often that I come across a premium expression with an SRP over $200 that 100% lives up to the hype, but that is exactly what this heavyweight from @kentuckyowl and @theoldowl does!
Dixon Dedman hit a home run with this one! See below for first impression tasting notes.
Kentucky Owl Bourbon - Batch No. 9.
👃: Almost Burnt Marshmallows, Graham Crackers, Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
👅: Great mouthfeel, Coats Beautifully, There’s a burst of cereal sweetness up front followed by intense but delicious cinnamon spice.
🏁: One of the most enjoyable finishes I’ve ever experienced. Cinnamon Pop Rocks, Just keeps going and going and going, but not at all overwhelming.
Conclusion: This stands up to any of the heavy hitters in the bourbon world. Yes, the SRP of $300 (I was fortunate enough to get mine well under retail) is a bit hard to swallow but the liquid inside is absolutely not. It’s one of the few that lives up to the price tag. It’s not for everyone at 127.6 proof, but for those who enjoy a sweet & spicy and extremely complex dram, you can’t pass this up!
