The nose on this rye has elements of sweet pine, honey, nougat, vanilla, cloves and lavender. Oaky undertones, subtle cedar saw dust or fresh split cedar. Rich in consistency and not forwardly spicy on the nose. It immediately coats the entire palate and nutmeg and cinnamon give way to pepper spice with vanilla on the front and anise across the middle. Subtle cinnamon spice clings to the finish.

Kentucky Owl Rye was rated 95 points by Whisky Advocate and crowned the Top Whisky in the Summer 2018 Buying Guide. This unique offering is produced from a collection of barrels blended and brought to proof to accentuate both the delicate profile and the full-flavored body of the whiskey. Master Blender Dixon Dedman crafted the small batch rye with the same passion and high quality that goes into his family’s award-winning bourbon.
