Kentucky Owl Confiscated Bourbon

Kentucky Owl Bourbon was founded in 1879 by C.M. Dedman on the banks of the Kentucky River. The distillery produced The Wise Man's Bourbon for decades until its long and storied history was interrupted by Prohibition. Fortunately, the Kentucky Owl brand was relaunched with Batch #1 in 2014. Each Bourbon batch is made from some of the finest bourbon bottled at 118.8 Proof to bring out the most desirable flavor. Every new batch is an original with its unique taste profile, carefully crafted in Kentucky by Master Blender John Rhea. These highly sought-after, artfully blended craft bourbons have become an instant sensation, and every batch sells out almost solely by word of mouth.

Kentucky Owl Confiscated Bourbon is a full-flavored and full-bodied bourbon whiskey that pays tribute to the barrels of Kentucky Owl seized by the US government during Prohibition. Those barrels were never seen or tasted again. At 96.4 proof, it is a much more full-flavored and fuller-bodied bourbon that will stand up neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.

Nose: Floral notes of gardenia and honeysuckle, orange cuties, vanilla wafers, banana-like wet banana bread, toasty notes like sourdough bread crust, grape and red apple fruit.

Palate: Graham crackers, citrus, fresh squeezed orange juice, toffee, muted sweet cinnamon spice balanced with white grape notes.

Finish: A hint of cayenne.
