Kentucky Owl Straight Bourbon Batch #2​

Distilled and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky, this is \"the wise man's bourbon.\" Kentucky Owl is a recent re-addition to the world of American whisky, as the original Dedman family distillery was left high and dry prohibition in the 1920's and its stock infamously looted by none other than Al Capone himself. Revived by great grandson Dixon Dedman, the Kentucky owl is back and flying higher than ever.

This is from batch no. 2.

While the Kentucky Owl brand remains a sourced bourbon from other distilleries, it was recently purchased by the Stoli Group who have announced plans to build a Kentucky Owl distilling complex in Kentucky in the not-too-distant future.

Bottle number 717 of 1380.
