Kentucky Owl
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Kentucky Owl is a Louisville-based producer releasing small-batch straight bourbon and rye whiskey drawn from sourced and privately held Kentucky barrels. The label was originally founded in the 1800s, revived in 2014 by Dixon Dedman, and later acquired by Stoli Group, maintaining its commitment to high-proof, limited-batch releases. Mashbills lean toward traditional Kentucky grain profiles, with bourbon batches bottled at cask-elevated proofs - Batch 8 reaches 121 proof - and rye expressions aged to a minimum of 11 years across Batches 1 and 2. Numbered releases such as Batches 9 and 11 reflect the brand's single-batch blending approach, where no two releases are identical. The Wiseman serves as the more widely available expression, while the St. Patrick's Edition and aged rye batches represent the cellar-worthy end of the range.
