Tasting Notes

Nose

Hints of lemongrass float in-between strong odors of toasted cedar and unroasted coffee beans. If I’m not mistaken, there is a slight medicinal note of surgical spirit, which is a common and welcome note to many Scotch whiskies.

Kentucky Owl Maighstir Edition at 50% ABV); $150/750ml — at $150, the question is whether it delivers on its promise. I sat down with a pour to find out.

Palate

Surprisingly complex for a bourbon, Ms. Robinson hits her mark to create a bourbon more thought provoking than your classic expressions. Clearly a lot of thought went into highlighting particular flavors in the bourbon to create a true tasting dram. If you’re a whiskey enthusiast looking to treat your palate to complexity, this dram will do well. If you just wanna drink some good bourbon, this one might be a bit pricey to fit that bill.

The Bottom Line

Kentucky Owl Maighstir Edition is a perfectly respectable whiskey that does what it sets out to do. At $150, the value is reasonable — it will not blow your mind, but it will not disappoint you either. A reliable choice.
