Kentucky Owl Description
A collaboration between master blenders John Rhea of Kentucky Owl and Yusuke Yahisa of Nagahama Distillery, this latest limited edition showcases Kentucky bourbon through the eyes of Japanese whisky, the company says. “Takumi” means “master” in Japanese.
Rhea selected four different formulations and sent the samples to Japan. Yahisa evaluated those samples, which represented different ages and mash bills available from Kentucky Owl. Yahisa then created different blends with those formulations to develop one most reflective of his Japanese whisky style.
The Takumi Edition Bourbon is a blend of 4-, 5-, 6- and 13-year-old Kentucky straight bourbons, with mash bills containing corn, rye or wheat, and malted barley.
Tasting Notes: The nose features a mix of light rye bread with caramel richness and a hint of tangy fruit salad, the company reports. On the palate, there is an initial wave of buttery rye bread with a full-bodied feel. The mix of rye and caramel combine into a cinnamon and caramel sauce, with a bit of fruitiness — mostly apple and pear.
