Kentucky Owl Takumi Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Takumi translates as ‘Master’ in Japanese & this is an authentic way of highlighting the collaboration between a young, fast rising Master Blender in Yahisa Yusuke with an industry veteran and Hall of Famer in John Rhea. It is a collaboration that encompasses not just the art of blending itself but also the different flavour and taste profiles that each country has become famous for in the making its whiskeys.

Kentucky Owl’s Takumi Edition is an artfully blended limited 2nd edition aged bourbon that provides whiskey lovers an insight into the flavour profiles sought after by a Japanese Whisky Master Blender. It is a special release that brings the best of Japanese whisky making skills to Kentucky Owl’s bourbon range.

The initial wave of buttery rye bread provides a full bodied taste & feel from the start. Across the tongue the savory mix of rye & caramel combine into a cinnamon & caramel sauce to bring out some fruitiness, mostly apple & pear that, all combined, provide a flavourful, pleasant, lasting finish.
