Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is a groundbreaking, limited-edition collaboration between Master Blender John Rhea of Kentucky Owl and Nagahisa Komatsu, Master Blender of Japan’s Nagahama Distillery. The name “Takumi,” meaning “master” in Japanese, perfectly reflects the artistry and balance that define this exceptional bourbon.

Blending the bold craftsmanship of Kentucky bourbon with the delicate precision of Japanese blending techniques, The Takumi Edition is bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) and combines select 4-, 5-, 6-, and 13-year-old bourbons. The result is a whiskey of remarkable harmony—rich and full-bodied with layers of toasted oak, caramel, spice, citrus, and vanilla, complemented by subtle herbal and floral notes reminiscent of Japanese whisky refinement.

This cross-cultural masterpiece celebrates the unity of two whiskey traditions and stands as one of Kentucky Owl’s most innovative and collectible releases to date.
