Product details
Maighstir, a collaboration between Kentucky Owl® Master Blender John Rhea and Scotch Whisky Master Blender Maureen Robinson, embodies the union of bourbon and Scotch traditions. Named after the Gaelic word for "Master," this edition has garnered an impressive 96 points from Tasting Panel magazine. On the nose, it offers a delightful mix of small grains like malted barley and wheat, paired with sweet caramel and vanilla, creating a sensory experience reminiscent of a Scotch whisky warehouse.
The palate opens with a warm, spicy sweetness from rye, typical of a fine bourbon, but softens with the calming notes of wheat and barley. As it melts on the tongue, hints of orange and grapefruit emerge, leaving a velvety texture. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering caramel and vanilla, delivering a satisfying and refined end to each sip.
