Kentucky Owl Maighstir Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 750mL

Kentucky Owl Maighstir Edition is a distinguished collaboration between Kentucky Owl's Master Blender, John Rhea, and Scotch Whisky Master Blender, Maureen Robinson. The term "Maighstir" (pronounced "May-stir") is Gaelic for "Master," reflecting the expertise behind this blend. This limited release artfully combines Kentucky straight bourbons aged 4, 5, 8, and 9 years, resulting in a robust and well-balanced bourbon with a Scotch whisky-inspired profile. On the nose, it offers a sweet sense of small grains, particularly malted barley, with hints of sweet caramel and vanilla, evoking the ambiance of a Scotch whisky warehouse. The palate begins with a warm, spicy sweetness from the rye, transitioning to soft tones from wheat and barley that provide a pleasant, calming warmth. As it melts in the mouth, essences of orange and grapefruit linger behind a soft, velvety feel. The finish is long and soft, with reemerging notes of caramel and vanilla trailing away pleasantly. Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), this bourbon provides a unique and masterful tasting experience.
