Kentucky Owl Bourbon (Batch #9)

This is a very high proof bottle of juice, but you can only tell on the nose. It is smooth and dangerously easy to sip. The nose gives you a lovely gentle toffee with a sweet spice and gently browned toast. You smell a bit longer and you get some leather and the ethanol starts to sting the nostrils so you know its strength. The palate is smooth, from start to finish it warms your whole mouth, fails to burn even a little, completely warm. Those spices from the nose linger, almost as if you are eating white bread, butter and cinnamon sugar. Very soft and smooth with a long finish that ends with some stronger spice almost to remind you that this particular bird is a a hunter, a bird of prey, one that hunts at night and leaves no trace of its presence. *I revisited this last week and now I get a funky banana at the very end... I like it a lot. If you find this and its in your bourbon budget. Buy it.

Awesome! First is the nose complex yet tempting. Flavor is smooth with vanilla and yet char taste. Slight Alcohol finish but short term and then smooth. Very very good Bourbon

Combustible orange. Beastly big boy.

This is incredibly good. Smooth across the pallet and very smooth finish . The nose is consistent with the first sip all the way through the finish which lingers and dances on the tongue like a guild of cane sugar Carmel fairies. I'm lucky to get a taste of such a rare and delicious bourbon. Thanks BillT
