Kentucky Owl Takumi Limited Release Bourbon Whiskey
Regular price
$199.00
Awarded 97 points by Tasting Panel magazine
The Kentucky Owl Takumi Limited Release Bourbon Whiskey Edition is a truly unique limited-release bourbon that blends Kentucky heritage with Japanese craftsmanship. “Takumi,” meaning “master” in Japanese, represents the spirit of collaboration between Kentucky Owl’s Master Blender John Rhea and Yusuke Yahisa, Master Blender for Japan’s Nagahama Distillery.
The Kentucky Owl Takumi combines Kentucky Owl’s rich, high-rye bourbons aged 4 to 13 years, meticulously selected and blended to reflect Japanese balance and refinement. Bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof), Takumi opens with aromas of rye spice, charred oak, citrus, and subtle orchard fruit. The palate is layered and silky, featuring notes of caramel, toasted coconut, baking spices, green tea, and dark chocolate. The finish is long and contemplative, with a fusion of sweet and umami-like depth.
What makes The Kentucky Owl Takumi so special is its cross-cultural vision: American bourbon richness meets Japanese blending precision. It’s bold yet harmonious, complex yet inviting — a collector’s bottle and conversation piece in one. Limited in release and globally praised, Kentucky Owl Takumi is a standout that redefines what collaboration in whiskey can achieve.
