1.0 Star - Poor; 20 ml sample
Confiscated is the exact right name for this whiskey. That is how your wallet will feel after purchasing.
This review is from a 2019 tasting. At the time I had never heard of Kentucky Owl. Aroma was nice, sweet and buttery. Palate was poor, thin and hot. Reminded me of George Dickel #12, lots of corn and some sharp notes with no depth.
Ok. Well, this must be all new distillery, right? Young and amateur. Then I found out this was $120 a bottle. Then I found out this was sourced. I can feel my anger rising. Despite the awesome reviews on other Kentucky Owl products (especially the rye), this has turned me off the brand forever.

@Ctrexman It should be. When I think of the exceptional whiskies $30-60 in price, to be 2-4 times that, they better deliver.
Wow I thought this would be much better
Yep, I felt bamboozled after purchasing one of these.
