DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Kentucky Owl Batch #12: The Wise Man's Bourbon at Full Proof
Kentucky Owl Batch #12 is the twelfth release in the batch series that made this brand's reputation, blended by Master Blender John Rhea and bottled uncut at 115.8 proof (57.9% ABV). Released November 2022 at a $400 suggested retail.
The blend is the story: 4 year old bourbon married into 7 to 14 year old stocks. That is a deliberate choice rather than a shortcut. The older barrels bring the oak, the leather and the depth, and the young whiskey puts the grain and the brightness back in so the whole thing does not collapse into tannin. It is the same logic behind a good solera, and it is why Batch #12 drinks fuller than its proof suggests it should.
Kentucky Owl carries Established 1879 and the signature of founder C.M. Dedman on the neck tag. The modern brand is built entirely on sourced and blended Kentucky barrels, released in numbered batches since 2014, each one a different set of barrels that does not come back once it is gone.
Scores
- 4 out of 5, Breaking Bourbon, who called it a quintessential classic sip
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Sweet spice and oak over caramel and butterscotch.
- Palate: Creamy and full. Warm baking spice and caramel with an unexpected turn of passionfruit and citrus cutting through.
- Finish: Long, with cream and caramel that hang on well past the swallow.
How to Enjoy
- Neat first: read it at full proof before you decide it needs anything.
- Then a few drops of water: at 115.8 proof a little water opens the fruit noticeably.
- One large cube: if you want it long and slow rather than concentrated.
- Gift idea: a numbered batch release is a better gift than a bottle they can buy again next month.
