5.0
A pleasant, focused aroma of prominent rye alongside a subtle undertone of rum funk. The taste is like liquid gold, possessing a substantial mouthfeel that deviates from a standard rye. It's balanced, zesty, yet sweet, featuring flavors of decadent caramel, whole wheat bread, baked pear, frosted sugar, and rum cake. The conclusion lingers, with increased oak presence near the end, finishing with a ginger-like spice. The quality of the limited edition offerings from Kentucky Owl has consistently impressed us, but this expression might be the pinnacle of blending and barrel aging expertise. This outstanding release is the perfect way to commemorate Mardi Gras with a drink or two during the festivities.
