Whisky bourbon Kentucky Owl, lote 9

Taste Notes: Kentucky Owl Bourbon Whiskey Batch 9 offers an intensely complex and evolving profile due to its high proof and blend of bourbons of various ages (including 6, 7, 12, 14, and 15-year-old barrels). Expect an initial aromatic tingle from rye grains, followed by rich caramel, sweet vanilla, and a gentle chocolate-vanilla oak. On the palate, a spicy kick from the combined grains and barrel tannins gives way to a complex sweetness with notes of wild strawberry, cooked fruit like baked apples, and raspberry tart. Hints of tiramisu, black pepper, leather, and significant oak mingle throughout. The texture is often described as thick, oily, and creamy. The finish is long, mild as the initial tingle fades, and presents a complex array of chocolate spice, raspberry, cinnamon, bitter almond, and lightly roasted coffee beans, with a lingering soft apple note.

Food Pairings: This robust and flavorful bourbon, with its high proof and layers of complexity, is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up its flavors. It pairs exceptionally well with rich, hearty, and somewhat fatty foods. Consider slow-cooked barbecue ribs or brisket, prime cuts of roasted beef, or game meats. Its sweet and spicy notes also make it a great match for decadent chocolate desserts, particularly those with dark fruit or nut elements, such as pecan pie or a rich chocolate torte. Strong, aged cheeses like sharp cheddar, smoked gouda, or blue cheese can also provide a compelling contrast and complement its depth.
