Kentucky Owl Maighstir Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 750 mL | Kentucky, USA | Limited Edition | Blended Bourbon

Process & Profile
Kentucky Owl Maighstir Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a limited-edition blend created in collaboration between Kentucky Owl Master Blender John Rhea and Scotch whisky blender Maureen Robinson. The name “Maighstir” translates to “master,” and the release was designed to bring a more Scotch-inspired sensibility to Kentucky straight bourbon without losing its bourbon identity. That cross-category concept gives the bottle a distinctive place in the Kentucky Owl lineup, especially for shoppers looking for a bourbon that feels more layered, aromatic, and internationally styled than a traditional release.

The blend is built from 4-, 5-, 8-, and 9-year-old bourbons, selected to create a profile that balances sweetness, fruit, spice, and a slightly more elegant structure than many oak-heavy premium bourbons. Bottled at 100 proof, Maighstir Edition offers enough weight for serious sipping while still staying polished and approachable. For customers searching for Kentucky Owl Maighstir Edition, Kentucky Owl limited release bourbon, or a collector-focused Kentucky straight bourbon with a more refined angle, this bottle stands out immediately.

How to Enjoy

This is also an especially good bottle for side-by-side tasting with a more traditional Kentucky bourbon or a fruit-forward whisky, since its appeal lies in how it bridges those two worlds.
