Kentucky Owl Batch 11 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (700 ml)

Batch 11 continues the celebrated lineage of barrel proof whiskies that rose Kentucky Owl to fame. Batch 11 opens your eyes with notes of bright citrus, velvety dark chocolate, and sticky toffee. The palate is a welcome mélange of mature oak, allspice, honeyed bread, and deep cinnamon. The finish is long with toasted oak, sultana, peppercorn, and fresh thyme.

Kentucky Owl Bourbon dates all the way back to 1879, when Charles Mortimer Dedman founded the C.M. Dedman Distillery. Kentucky Owl was produced until Prohibition forced the distillery to close - and it never reopened. Fast-forward to 2010, Dixon Dedman decided to reignite the Kentucky Owl brand that was created by his great-great-grandfather many moons ago. The whiskey itself is made with casks sourced from various distilleries and blended by Dixon, and is bottled at cask strength, resulting in a full-bodied flavour profile. Kentucky Owl has impressed many already, and the wheels are in motion for a big ol' Bardstown-based distillery and visitors centre to be created.
