Kentucky Owl Japan Takumi + GB

Nose: The initial aroma is inviting with notes of vanilla and the comforting scent of freshly baked cookies and biscuits. Caramel adds a sweet warmth, and there's a mild, well-arranged complexity with subtle herbal undertones.

Taste: On the palate, honey and caramel come forward with rich vanilla sweetness. The flavor profile is full and intense, with hints of ripe yellow fruit adding a slight tanginess. Spices such as cinnamon and ginger create a warm, slightly oily texture.

Finish: The finish is medium-long, dominated by lingering spices, including cinnamon and ginger. Caramel and vanilla notes persist, complemented by the unique taste of yellow fruit in a sweet brine.

Bourbon geek institution Kentucky Owl have lifted their game in their partnership with Japanese Master Blender Yahisa Yusuke, bringing a distinctly Japanese feel to their legendary classic Bourbon. It’s a collaboration unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Rather than adding a distinct finish to the whiskey, Yahisa has kept Kentucky Owl’s ingredients exactly as is, instead choosing to blend this Kentucky Straight spirit in a way that encapsulates the perfect Japanese dram – balanced from start to finish. Named ‘Takumi’ (meaning ‘master’ in Japanese), this evenly complex creation is a masterpiece in artful blending.
