Description

Kentucky Owl Batch #12 "The Wise Man's Bourbon" is a powerful, expertly blended limited-release bourbon, showcasing the brand's modern blending philosophy. Bottled at 57.9% ABV (115.8 proof), it delivers classic Kentucky bourbon character with depth and intensity. This carefully constructed blend combines bourbons aged 7 to 14 years with two younger 4-year-old bourbons to add brightness and spice. The brand, originally founded in 1879 by C.M. Dedman, was revived in 2014 by his great-grandson Dixon Dedman, and modern releases are now produced under the Stoli Group with blending led by Master Blender John Rhea.
