Kentucky Owl Maighstir Limited Release Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky Owl Maighstir is a rare and refined limited-edition bourbon that celebrates the artistry of blending and the spirit of mentorship. “Maighstir,” the Gaelic word for “master,” reflects both the whiskey’s craftsmanship and its collaborative origins — created under the guidance of Master Blender John Rhea with a group of skilled apprentice blenders.
This expression is a complex blend of rare, aged bourbons sourced and selected with precision. Bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof), Maighstir delivers a bold yet harmonious experience. On the nose, it offers layered aromas of brown sugar, orange peel, vanilla, and toasted spice. The palate follows with rich caramel, leather, candied citrus, and seasoned oak, all wrapped in a velvety texture. The finish is long, balanced, and warmly spiced.
Since the arrival of John Rea, from Four Roses, Kentucky Owl have been leaders in the willingness to experiment with limited editions. They released the Takumi and the St. Patricks with leading Japanese and Irish Master blenders respectively. The Maighstir (pronounced May-stir) is a traditional Gaelic word meaning "Master", continues this trend. The Kentucky Owl Maighstir is born from a collaboration between Kentucky Owl® Master Blender, John Rhea and Scotch Whisky Master Blender, Maureen Robinson.
