Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition Bourbon
Bourbon
Kentucky Owl // Kentucky, USA
RARE
Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition was made in collaboration with Master Blenders John Rhea from Kentucky Owl and Yusuke Yahisa from Japan's Nagahama Distillery -- Takumi means "master" in Japanese. Rhea selected and sent over samples of Kentucky straight bourbons with different ages and mash bills to Japan where Yahisa created different blends to reflect his Japanese whiskey style.
The final blend includes bourbons aged 4, 5, 6, and 13 years. This release is the second limited edition bottling from the brand and the fourth release under Rhea's leadership.

Tasting Notes
"The nose is like a piece of peanut brittle split in half, with saltwater taffy and sour cherries in the background. On the palate, find rich chocolate syrup, barrel char, and tannic oak, with a spicy and peppery undertone behind it all. The finish is moderate in length, with butterscotch, creamy vanilla pudding, candied pecans, and spearmint."
