“Taking America’s Native Spirit and applying a Japanese style of blending to it, Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition is a masterpiece in artful blending.” – Nick Beiter, Breaking Bourbon
“The nose is like a piece of peanut brittle split in half, with saltwater taffy and sour cherries in the background. On the palate, find rich chocolate syrup, barrel char, and tannic oak, with a spicy and peppery undertone behind it all. The finish is moderate in length, with butterscotch, creamy vanilla pudding, candied pecans, and spearmint.” – Jake Emen, Distiller (90 Points)
“Creamy caramel syrup, well-spiced apple pie, brown sugar, and a burst of cherry make for an enticing nose. Stay awhile, and more aromas emerge: light char is joined by lemon pound cake, baked apples, and vanilla fudge. The palate is silky smooth and offers raspberry jam, maple syrup, coconut flakes, more apples, and hot cinnamon spice; with water, it stays just as enjoyable, if a little less heated. The finish packs a baking spice punch and lingers on and on.” – Julia Higgins, Whisky Advocate (92 Points)
