The Wiseman Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (700 ml)

The Wiseman Bourbon is an interesting release as it features bourbon Kentucky Owl contract distils with Bardstown Bourbon Company. Their 4-year-old wheat and high-rye bourbons are then blended with 5.5 years and 8.5-year-old Kentucky-sourced bourbons. The result is a traditional-tasting bourbon that features quite a bit of spice, surprising bouts of dryness, and a general lack of excitement.

It also features hints of age throughout, yet those are quickly followed by cereal grain or light ethanol. It’s a very serviceable bourbon that doesn’t do anything to offend, and kind of just is.
