Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition Bourbon review: Kentucky Owl strains the credibility of what can be called 'limited edition' bourbon, with a theme that isn't fully explored. whiskey bourbon cocktails
to be the first to acquire anything with a whiff of “rarity” to it, but the clear effect has been to incentivize distilleries to release as many “limited editions” as they can. And really, why wouldn’t they? If the consumer is willing to pay twice as much as they usually would for almost the same liquid, for a “limited” release, then it makes all the economic sense in the world to keep a steady flow of limited releases coming. They make money.
Granted, I felt much the same about the previous, seemingly cynical St. Patrick’s Limited Edition Bourbon, andThat release jumped through some mental hoops in order to somehow make Kentucky bourbon an appropriate sentiment for St. Patrick’s Day, with the only tie to Ireland being the presence of an Irish blender. And with Takumi Edition, the Stoli company has done the same thing, while simply swapping in Japanese theming. And in my opinion, it’s all a bit too much.
So an American-Japanese bourbon collaboration does make some cultural sense. But you expect the impact of that collaboration to be more creative than what one sees in the Takumi Edition bottle,What we have here is a blend of 4-, 5-, 6- and 13-year-old Kentucky straight bourbons, coming from a variety of mashbills that include corn, rye, wheat and malted barley.
On the palate, Takumi Edition strikes me as a bit hotter than expected, with an ethanol heat likely derived from some of the younger bourbon in the blend, tickling the back of the throat with black pepper and chile heat. The fruit is still present, however, though it’s a bit darker in tone here, suggesting plum and more orange citrus. The oak profile seems to hint at the blend of ages, with notes running both toward greener oak and mature oak/leather.
