Tasting notes

Batch 12 is blended utilizing very particular well aged, bold bourbons. 7-14 year old bourbons are blended with two different 4 year old bourbons to create this unique blend. Sweet spice and caramel, with a hint of butterscotch, with a long bouquet pleasant aroma. A pleasant rush of warm spice runs across the tongue along with a robust caramel & cream sensation filling all the taste buds; pleasantly melting into hints of passion fruit and spicy citrus. The finish is long and pleasant as the caramel & cream lingers like an unexpected invitation.

Key characteristics

About this whisky

Kentucky Owl Bourbon is a renowned producer of premium bourbon whiskey, hailing from the United States. With a rich history and a commitment to traditional production methods, Kentucky Owl has established itself as a leading name in the world of spirits.

The history of Kentucky Owl dates back to the late 19th century when it was founded by C.M. Dedman in Kentucky, a state known for its bourbon production. Dedman's passion for crafting exceptional bourbon led him to create a unique blend that quickly gained popularity among whiskey enthusiasts. Over the years, Kentucky Owl Bourbon has continued to uphold Dedman's legacy, ensuring that each bottle carries the same level of quality and craftsmanship.

One of the key factors that sets Kentucky Owl apart is its meticulous production process. The distillery carefully selects the finest grains, primarily corn, which is a staple ingredient in bourbon production. These grains are then milled and cooked to create a mash, which is fermented using a specific strain of yeast. The fermentation process allows the yeast to convert the sugars in the mash into alcohol, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic base for the bourbon.

Once the fermentation is complete, the mash is distilled using traditional copper pot stills. This method of distillation is known for its ability to produce a spirit with exceptional character and depth. The distillate, also known as "white dog," is then aged in charred oak barrels, a process that imparts unique flavors and colors to the bourbon. Kentucky Owl Bourbon is aged for a minimum of six years, allowing it to develop a smooth and complex profile.

The style of Kentucky Owl Bourbon can be described as rich, full-bodied, and well-balanced. Each batch is carefully blended to achieve a harmonious combination of flavors, showcasing the expertise of the master blender. The bourbon exhibits notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and spice, with a long and satisfying finish. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails, Kentucky Owl Bourbon is sure to impress even the most discerning whiskey connoisseurs.

Kentucky Owl Bourbon is highly regarded among bourbon enthusiasts and has received numerous accolades and awards. Its commitment to quality and tradition has earned it a loyal following both in the United States and internationally. The brand's dedication to excellence is evident in every bottle, making it a sought-after choice for those who appreciate fine spirits.
