About this bottle

Electric Owl is a 9-year-old sour mash bourbon released in limited quantities by Virgil Kaine, with only 3000 bottles produced. This bottling is a collaboration with Revelry Brewing, utilizing barrels that previously held Revelry's Wild American Ale for finishing the bourbon's aging process. These ale barrels had earlier housed Oregon Pinot Noir. The bourbon was bottled at 50.05% ABV.

Why there's no score

We have 8 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
