Brand owner Stoli Group has unveiled a limited edition expression from its Kentucky Owl Bourbon in the US.
Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition comprises a blend of four Kentucky straight Bourbons aged between four and 13 years old. The iteration, which will be available for a limited albeit unspecified length of time, has been produced in partnership with Yusuke Yahisa, the master blender at Nagahama Distillery in Japan’s Shiga prefecture.
Carrying an ABV of 50%, the whiskey rolls out nationwide to the US off-premise next month at an SRP of US$150 per 750ml bottle.
Stoli Group, whose flagship brand is its namesake vodka, acquired Bardstown-based Kentucky Owl in 2017. In July, the privately-owned company confirmed plans to extend the reach of Scottish gin Tulchan to new markets including Australia and Canada next year.
