KENTUCKY OWL WISEMAN STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 700ML 45.4% 700ML

The Wiseman Bourbon is an intriguing release because it combines bourbons from Kentucky Owl and Bardstown Bourbon Company. They blend their 4-year-old wheat and high-rye bourbons with 5.5-year-old and 8.5-year-old Kentucky-sourced bourbons.

The outcome is a traditional bourbon that has a notable amount of spice, occasional dryness, and a lack of excitement. It also has hints of age, but these are quickly followed by notes of cereal grain or light ethanol. Overall, it is a reliable bourbon that doesn’t offend and just is what it is.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: The aroma of this bourbon includes caramel, grass, roasted peanut, gentle rye spice, light curry, and an overall soft and airy quality.

Palate:On the palate, you will taste toffee, caramel, cereal grain, muted raspberry, and dry oak.

Finish: The finish of this bourbon is characterized by rye spice, leather, lingering light dryness, and a touch of ethanol in a professional tone.
