Kentucky Owl Batch #13 marks the end of an era as the final bourbon blend created by Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Famer John Rhea before his retirement. Bottled at a robust 113.6 proof, the blend brings together five different bourbons, built primarily around mature 8- and 9-year-old barrels, with higher-rye whiskey providing depth and spice and younger wheated bourbon adding freshness. Expect layers of sweet vanilla, caramel and chocolate, followed by orange, grapefruit and other bright citrus notes, with oak and warming spice carrying through the long finish. A fitting final statement from one of Kentucky whiskey's most experienced master blenders.
