GSN’s Remarks: We will inform proper off the bat that this launch has some similarities to a blended Scotch. Perky, woody, excessive notes, with a touch of smoke, and a wealthy, thrumming bass line of malt. On the palate, there’s a sweetness and a softness which comes from the corn and the wheat addition. A little bit of rye spice kicks in on the tail finish of the initital tasting. The physique is medium-light, with an total warming and relaxed mouthfeel. Nothing amiss right here. The end is further lengthy, gently ending on an oaky word. Exceptionally nicely blended, and the sort of whiskey that begs for only one extra sip. Kentucky Owl continues to impress. GSN Score: A+
