The Kentucky Owl Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey St. Patrick’s Edition is a fun experience for those head-over-heals in love with new oak. There is no question on popping the bottle what type of vessel this whiskey was aged in. This would make a great sipper, the aftertaste is extremely pleasant, or a lovely pairing with sweet, rich pastries such as cinnamon rolls or raised donuts. This would also make a fine accompaniment to a strong cigar. The vanilla note is profound, and I imagine will be somewhat divisive. But I found myself returning to it the next evening.
