Review: K.Luke Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey

       K.LUKE Whiskey Company owner and president Jonathan Maisano made his first single barrel trip to Kentucky in the summer of 2014.  Since then, he has tasted over 1400 barrels and selected more than 350 to be deemed as Maisano Hand Selects in his retail store Maisano's Fine Wine and Spirits.  Jonathan is also a first level certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers.  He uses this extensive sensory training when evaluating aroma and flavor profiles in whiskey barrels as there are many similar traits in both wine and whiskey when searching for nuances.   K.LUKE is all about Jonathan's ability to blend exceptional single barrels to create balanced and multilayered small batch offerings. He blends exceptional single barrels, then these blends are put together, rated and blind tasted against each other, then against other outstanding whiskey offerings until these blends consistently win K.LUKE's blind tastings.  Jonathan was nice enough to send us some of this bourbon to try!
