Stoli Group is launching two unique whiskey offerings for the holiday season: the ‘Kentucky Owl Batch #12’ and the ‘Kentucky Owl Mardi Gras XO Cask Limited Edition,’ respectively.
Master Blender John Rhea has combined a selection of distinct, well-aged, robust bourbons for Batch #12: This special blend is made from two different four-year-old bourbons and seven to 14-year-old bourbons. With a touch of butterscotch and more pleasing aromas, the nose features sweet spice and caramel notes. The drink boasts warm spice, rich caramel, and cream flavors that melt into passion fruit and sour citrus notes.
The ‘Kentucky Owl Mardi Gras XO Cask Limited Edition’ contains flavors of strong, rich Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey followed by a rush of allspice-whipped, sweet butter. The sweet smoothness of butter and spices give way to a nutmeg coda in the finish.
