Kentucky Owl Confiscated Bourbon

So this juice has a price tag associated with it .... got it. Once you get over the price, this is really good!!!

I really wanted to give this a glowing recommendation. I love the story behind this bourbon and everything Dixon Dedman is doing to resurrect the brand. However, this bottle is about $40 too expensive. At $99, I feel like this should be an exceptional whiskey. It's not. That doesn't mean it's a bad one. It's very drinkable and the floral and fruity notes carry it forward to a medium-length finish. But it's astringent on the nose and the taste lacks the depth and dark, rich flavors that I love about higher-end bourbon. And the lower proof point doesn't help it. I recommend you try a pour of it before buying a bottle.

Straight, middle of the road Bourbon. Tried it next to many other offerings at a tasting and this was not better than some $40 offerings. this is sourced, NAS, sub-100 proof whiskey that would not command more than $35 with any other label. 3/5 but loses half a point for that ridiculous MSRP
