Overview

More Info

When Prohibition loomed, federal agents seized the whiskey barrels of C.M. Dedman, who'd founded Kentucky Owl back in 1879. Generations later his descendant revived the brand and named this bottling for those confiscated barrels. It's a Kentucky straight bourbon at 96.4 proof, layering aged oak and light caramel with leather, graham cracker, and tobacco, then finishing on dry cinnamon spice. Pour it neat, or over a single big cube to let the oak stretch out.
Tasting notes

Nose: Floral notes of gardenia and honeysuckle, orange cuties, vanilla wafers, banana like wet banana bread, toasty notes like sourdough bread crust, grape and red apple fruit.

Palate:Graham crackers, citrus, fresh squeezed orange juice, toffee, muted sweet cinnamon spice balanced with white grape notes.

Finish: A hint of cayenne.

Tipxy AI Overview

What people across the internet are saying
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ 4/5 AI Rating

Whisky Advocate scored Kentucky Owl Confiscated 91 points, praising gardenia, banana bread, toffee, and cayenne notes. Breaking Bourbon and Whiskey Wash agree the blending is careful, though many reviewers flag the $125 price as steep for a no-age-statement bottle. Critically respected but polarizing on value.
