Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition
What is Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition?
Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition is a unique collaboration between American and Japanese whiskey traditions, blending Kentucky straight bourbon with Japanese whisky expertise. Interestingly, the master blender for this edition, Yusuke Yahisa, used his background in cognac blending to select barrels that would harmonize perfectly with Japanese whisky profiles, resulting in a bourbon with subtle notes of mizunara oak and a silky, refined finish.
Why do we love Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition?
Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition stands out as a unique collaboration between American bourbon-making expertise and Japanese whisky craftsmanship. This limited-edition bourbon is finished in Japanese Mizunara oak casks, imparting delicate notes of sandalwood, coconut, and incense that complement the rich vanilla and caramel flavors typical of Kentucky bourbon, creating a truly one-of-a-kind East-meets-West flavor profile.
How do you drink Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition?
Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition shines brightest when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold on the palate. This luxurious bourbon is perfect for cooler autumn evenings, paired with rich, savory dishes like grilled meats or aged cheeses, though it's equally at home in spirit-forward cocktails that showcase its depth and character.

Nose: Caramel and vanilla lead, followed by hints of dried fruit and oak. A subtle spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg emerges, along with a faint whiff of toasted almonds.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied, with prominent notes of butterscotch and toffee. Ripe peaches and apricots provide a fruity sweetness, balanced by warming spices like ginger and clove. A touch of dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans adds depth.
Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering warmth. Oak tannins become more pronounced, accompanied by a gentle tobacco note. The sweetness fades to reveal a pleasant dryness, with hints of leather and black pepper on the tail end.
