Kentucky Owl Confiscated Bourbon

Nose - dry roasted peanut, corn, vanilla bean, cherry, butterscotch, cardamom, allspice, clove, rocky minerality, low ethanol burn. Taste - peanut butter, corn, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, cherry, apple, cardamom, black pepper, allspice, moderate alcohol bite, finishing with very sweet peanut butter and brown sugar flavors. Solid bourbon, but I find it very sweet and extremely overpriced for the quality provided.

Way overrated. I disagree with the description. There isn’t a lot of complexity here.

Kentucky Owl Confiscated. 96.4 proof. Neat, heavy glencairn pour. Nose: inviting, initially chocolate and marshmallow. Small fruity / hint of cherry. The oaky grainy bit comes across more as a sweet buttered crescent roll. Palate: non existent heat index at the front, so again inviting. Fruit grabbing closer to a white grape or a plum. Even at the lower proof and initial friendliness it sits around for a nice moderately long finish. Teddy Graham’s are there for the primary sugar content. Cost: $125 (bit overpriced... but I enjoyed it regardless!) Music: Queens of the Stone Age vinyl Rating: 4/5 for the palate, 3.25/5 for the value.

Flavors are good, but very dry
