Tasting Notes: The nose is what you expect from a classic Kentucky bourbon - rich toffees, nougat, gripping spices, and balanced, mature oak with cigar box aromatics.
The whiskey comes alive on the palate, providing the rich yet spicy mouthfeel you’ve come to expect from K. Luke bourbon batches, but with the age and elegance turned up. It first coats with chocolate, nougat, and even pops of caramel before a plethora of pepper, clove, allspice, and cinnamon. A third layer comes in as the spice begins to dissipate, welcoming luscious oak, leather, and a revisit to fruit kissed caramel and vanilla.
The finish is long and slow, lingering with creamy sweetness and lasting leather and oak. The more you sip the more balanced the spices grow, and the more prominent the creamy sugars and oak grow, with dark chocolate lasting beyond them all.
About K.Luke Whiskey: K.LUKE Whiskey Company was founded in 2021 by Jonathan and Jennifer Maisano. They personally taste every barrel of whiskey in their portfolio, which allows them to create special small batch blends and bottle limited single barrel offerings.
This single barrel was selected because they found the whiskey offered outstanding characteristics worthy of being bottled independently. Each single barrel is bottled at barrel strength, uncut and unfiltered, so you can taste all the flavor just as they did straight from the barrel. K.LUKE is a tribute to both of their children Kaitlyn and Lucas.
It's from Kentucky and our 4th single barrel release in the past 2+ years.
Enjoy The Spirit Of Blending.
