Kentucky Owl The Wiseman
Bourbon is the first Kentucky straight
bourbon whiskey produced and distilled
by Kentucky Owl in collaboration with
the Bardstown Bourbon Company, both
located in The Bourbon Capital of the
World — Bardstown, Kentucky.
 Kentucky
Owl has announced the release of The
Wiseman Bourbon, its first Kentucky
straight bourbon whiskey produced and
distilled by Kentucky Owl in
collaboration with the Bardstown Bourbon
Company, both located in The Bourbon
Capital of the World — Bardstown,
Kentucky.
Kentucky Owl The Wiseman Bourbon is a
blend of Kentucky Owl 4 year old wheat
and high-rye bourbons, along with 5 ˝
year and 8 ˝ year old Kentucky sourced
bourbons.
"The Wiseman Bourbon is an artful
balance of soft wheat and spicy high-rye
that provides a smooth but complex
bourbon designed to drink neat, on the
rocks or in a cocktail," said John Rhea,
Kentucky Owl Master Blender.
"The product leads with a beautiful
caramel flavour and aroma followed by
notes of allspice, citrus fruit and a
nudge of oak."
This is the first Kentucky Owl release
under Rhea, who began in June. Rhea
previously served as Four Roses
Distillery’s chief operating officer,
where his responsibilities included
quality control, maturation, evaluation
and product blending. He was inducted
into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame
in 2016 and served as chair of the
Kentucky Distillers’ Association board
of directors.
"The Wiseman is the beginning of the
next chapter for Kentucky Owl and Stoli
Group," said Damian McKinney, Global CEO
of Stoli Group. "As a family of
exceptional brands, we are continuing to
evolve, innovate and grow across all
segments of the spirits market."
Stoli Group, the leading global
ultra-premium spirits and wine company,
purchased Kentucky Owl in 2017.
Originally founded by C.M. Dedman in
1879, the Kentucky Owl Bardstown
distillery went dark during the
Prohibition era and remained dormant
until a descendent revived the brand in
2014. Since then, the company’s small
batch releases have sold out quickly and
received rave reviews.
The Wiseman Bourbon (90.8 proof/45.4%
ABV, $60/750mL) is the latest addition
to the Kentucky Owl portfolio, with its
last blended bourbon, Confiscated,
released in 2019. The Wiseman will soon
be available through a limited number of
fine retailers across the distillery’s
national distribution footprint in the
US and hopefully soon here in the UK.
Meanwhile you will still find a
selection of Kentucky Owl whiskey available from specialist
online whisky retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange,
Amazon
and
Master of Malt
