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 Kentucky Owl Bourbon Batch Release is made from some of the finest bourbon in Kentucky and bottled to bring out the most desirable bourbon flavor. Every new batch is an original with its unique taste profile, carefully crafted 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 Batch #11 Bourbon is a unique blended whiskey utilizing very particular, well-aged, bold Bourbons ranging from 6 to 14 years old. There is an immediate tingle in the nose from the combined rye grains in the bourbons and their age. Followed by a smooth caramel and vanilla pause. Lastly comes a mild and gentle chocolate vanilla oak. The spiciness of the combined bourbon grains and the tannins in the wood barrel tingle the mouth with flavor. Followed by a soft flow of bourbon vanilla tea and soft wine. The finish is mild as the tingle fades, with a soft apple lingering in the throat.
