Kentucky Owl Confiscated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Kentucky Owl, bottled at 96.4 proof (48.2% ABV) from a corn-dominant mash bill, and it leans toward the bakery and the orchard more than the usual caramel and oak. The nose opens with gardenia, fresh banana bread and toasty sourdough crust, with a little red apple keeping it lively. On the palate, graham cracker and citrus meet rich toffee and muted cinnamon, while white grape adds a bright, juicy edge before a smooth finish with a gentle flick of cayenne. That floral, bread-forward character is what makes it stand out on a shelf crowded with vanilla and char. It suits the bourbon drinker ready to look past the familiar, and it has enough proof to sip neat or hold its own in an Old Fashioned or Boulevardier. We carry it because it rewards attention. Add a few drops of water and the fruit and spice open further, giving you something new to notice with each pour.
