An exciting up-and-coming brand from Jonathan and Jennifer Maisano, K.LUKE has stormed onto the whiskey scene in the past couple of years with some dynamite products. This small-batch, barrel-strength bourbon is a blend of Kentucky and Indiana bourbon, bottled at 119.4 proof. Each K.LUKE batch is quite limited, and batch 5 yielded only 738 bottles.

Heavy baking spice, maple, sweet oak, gobs of toffee and salted caramel and a prickle of ethanol. There’s a lot going on.
Rich on the palate, full of maple, baking spice and honey. The ethanol is a ripper — this is hot and punchy but rich and full of flavor. Tobacco, sweet cream, apple butter.
After a good long rest, the ethanol cools down. The finish is long, packed with savory sweetness, brown butter, toffee, honey, salted caramel and one last fiery send off.
This is really something. It’s rich and powerful, complex and full of flavor. It’s a tad hot, but if you can look past the heat, you’ve got a winner on your hands.
