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. Kentucky Owl® Confiscated pays tribute to the barrels seized by the Government, just ahead of Prohibition, and then lost forever. Produced from 4 different distillates (9 lots) which were aged 12, 10 , 9 , and 5 years. At 96.4% proof Kentucky Owl Confiscated is a full-flavored and fuller-bodied bourbon that stands up neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail.
