Kentucky 10 is a Straight Bourbon from Owensboro, KY and is bottled at 45% abv. From my research it is stated that the whiskey “comes out of the 10th oldest distillery in KY” and is bottled and aged in the Medley Distillery (DSP-KY-10). I have not heard of this distillery before and I am not familiar with any of their products, so I am flying blind on this review. However, from the distillery code, I think I can figure out where they got the name.
I was able to enjoy a couple of Kentucky 10’s on ice at my friend’s Terence’s wedding last fall in South Florida. I was informed that one of the owners of Kentucky 10 was at the wedding so I introduced myself. We chatted for a few minutes, but then he got pulled away before I could ask specific questions on the whiskey.
Kentucky 10 is a young whiskey that fits somewhere in the brown spirits marketing boom as a sourced product from a major distillery. It is not a bad whiskey by any means, but it is more of a mixer than a sipper.
Priced around $35 and decent for the price. I have not seen it on the shelves in the NYC area.
