Kentucky Owl 11 Year Small Batch Rye (Batch 1, 2017) marks a significant chapter in the revival of a historic whiskey label originally founded in 1879 by Charles Mortimer Dedman. After Prohibition shuttered the distillery, the brand lay dormant for nearly a century until it was resurrected by Dedman’s descendants. The 2017 release was the inaugural rye whiskey under the Kentucky Owl name, produced in limited quantities. Bottled at 110.6 proof, this 11-year-old rye quickly became a sought-after collector’s item, celebrated for its return to pre-Prohibition traditions. The bottle features a vintage-inspired green label, adorned with the iconic owl and classic fonts, highlighting its heritage. Kentucky Owl’s first rye batch is now recognized as a milestone for rye enthusiasts, representing both legacy and rarity in modern American whiskey.
