Kentucky Owl Confiscated Bourbon

Had the chance to talk with a Kentucky Owl rep. From my notes it’s a blend of four bourbons, aged six, eight, ten, and twelve years. Nicely balanced with some smoke and vanilla. Layers of flavor including cherry and anise/licorice? Some bready, maybe graham cracker. Long finish with a return of vanilla and cinnamon. I’d buy again.

Good nose but doesn't reveal how good the pallet is. A bit of heat just after the flavors hit you.

This bourbon is very brown. No age statement but sipping on this you can tell there is some older bourbon mixed in. This goes down very easy with little to no burn or bite. Got a little cinnamon, apple, brown sugar/honey notes on the palate. Has a very short finish. Does not linger at all. This would be a dangerous one to be drinking given how easy it is straight. Maybe some people will find it boring but I enjoy this.

Definitely a blended MGP. There has to be some older stuff to it, because it’s DARK in color. 96.4 proof so it’s easy to sip. Definitely some rye spices that you feel at the back of your throat. Great nose, lingering finish. $150 is a high price but it reminds me of the yellow stone special edition.
