Distillery Tasting Notes

Made by Stoli Group USA, LLC ~ Kentucky Owl

Greets drinkers with robust toasted rye bread notes, smothered in farm fresh sweet butter, with hints of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. The mouthfeel begins with a robust, flavorful Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, followed by a flurry of sweet butter whipped with allspice. The finish is smooth, with the sweet softness of butter and allspice giving way to a long and warming nutmeg coda.

A Review of Green River Honey Finished Bourbon Whiskey

Green River Honey Finished Bourbon Whiskey is very good, surprisingly so. Why surprisingly? Because, frankly, I’ve never been much of a fan of honey cask-finished bourbons. So, for me to say...Read More
