Deep, dark amber color. Fragrant, complex, and fruity nose shows peaches and apple pie, saddle leather, freshly split oak, vanilla, and noticeable but pleasant heat. The heat (96.4 proof) takes a leading role on the palate, with pepper, some woody and slightly bitter tannins, and a touch of cooling menthol. Brief vanilla on the finish. Kentucky Owl Confiscated merits attention: it holds its own in terms of aromatics, but doesn't follow through as strongly with its flavor profile and finish. It's pleasant to drink, but not a great value. It retails around $130 here in CT; I was able to purchase this from a friend of a friend's liquor store for about half that.

First of all yes it is over priced but it’s good bourbon. Nose - sweet and floral Taste - oaky, green apple , buttery and nutty This bottle would fly of the shelves at $80. It has no age statement but I’m thinking it’s a 8-12 year old blend.

Really hot for a 96 proof. Good oaky buttery nose and the initial taste is good but hot through the finish. Might need a little water.

Smell - strong oak, vanilla smell Taste - very strong initial flavor with a cinnamon, vanilla, and caramel like finish.
