Rye boasts a significant amount of mature juice, however, it is the 10-year aged stocks that really enhance its texture, making it richer, thicker, and more syrupy, while also propelling the blend forward," said Dixon Dedman, the Master Blender at Kentucky Owl. Kentucky Owl 10-Year Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Batch #3, which is 114-proof and has an alcohol volume of 57%, is a highly sought-after whiskey that will soon be available on store shelves and behind bars in selected markets. Like every batch of Kentucky Owl bourbon and rye that preceded it, Rye #3 is crafted with the same tradition and meticulous attention to detail. Batch #3 has an aroma that features citrus, orange juice, grapefruit, oak, anise, and barbeque spice. The palate is coated with a combination of barrel sweetness, caramel candy, creamy vanilla, toffee, and hazelnut, before culminating in a finish of licorice, absinthe, nutmeg, and a mild flash of cayenne pepper
