Kentucky Owl 11 Year Rye Batch #1 (2017) marks a significant chapter in the revival of an iconic pre-Prohibition whiskey label. Founded in 1879 by Charles Mortimer Dedman, Kentucky Owl was lost to history after Prohibition, only to be resurrected by Dedman’s descendants in the 21st century. The 2017 release was the first rye expression in Kentucky Owl’s modern era, aged for over a decade and bottled at 110.6 proof. This small batch quickly became a collector’s favorite, celebrated for its rarity and the heritage it represents. The label’s vintage-inspired design and classic tall bottle pay homage to its 19th-century roots, while the distilled spirit inside bridges Kentucky’s storied past with contemporary whiskey enthusiasm. Batch #1 stands out as a pivotal release, cementing Kentucky Owl’s reputation for highly sought-after limited editions.
