The New Kentucky Owl Bourbon Batch No. 10, According To Those Behind It, Is Said To Be A Blend Of Their “Oldest, Oakiest And Most Precious Barrels Combined With More Youthful, Fruity And Spice-Driven Selections.” It Is Bottled At A Hearty 120.2 Proof And Has Official Tasting Notes That Speak Of “Flavors Of Sweet Caramel, Toffee And Vanilla, Followed By Subtle Floral Fruity Notes Before Finishing With A Kick Of Spice On The Back Of The Palate.”

A much sought-after single malt with the massive peat-smoke that’s typical of southern Islay – but also offering richness and a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting tipple. The 16 year old has truly become a benchmark Islay dram from the Lagavulin distillery. If you’re looking for a food pairing for this beauty, try intensely flavoured salty blue cheeses, which complement the intense, peat rich, sweet and salty character of this Lagavulin wonderfully.
