Kentucky Owl The Wiseman Rye
100.8 proof 4 years Rye Kentucky Owl $49.99 95% rye

Herbal and grassy with rye spice, some sweet rye and honey notes, less ethanol than the bourbon.

Sweet upfront with spice sizzle, creamy mouth-coating effect, earthiness and green notes, raisins present.

Licorice notes with brown sugar, earthy pine finish, spice lingers pleasantly, not as hot as the bourbon.

Overall Score
3.6 / 5
A well-rounded rye whiskey with more complexity and balance than its bourbon counterpart, featuring pleasant sweet and herbal layers.
