Product Description

Kentucky Owl was founded on the banks of the Kentucky River in 1879 by a local pharmacist, Charles Mortimer Dedman. For decades, they produced “The Wise Man’s Bourbon” under Distilled Spirits Plant Designation “No. 16”—one of Kentucky’s original distilleries and part of a booming industry—until its long and storied history was interrupted by Prohibition. Fortunately, the Kentucky Owl brand was relaunched with Batch #1 in 2014. Every new batch is an original with its own unique taste profile, carefully crafted by Master Blender John Rhea. These highly sought-after, artfully blended craft bourbons have become an instant sensation that sell out almost solely by word of mouth.

The Wiseman™ Straight Rye is a traditional rye with a spicy nose that progresses to the taste, filling the mouth and tickling the tastebuds. The long finish starts as fresh rye bread and moves slowly toward buttered cinnamon toast, ending with just a hint of English walnut.

Tasting Notes
— Nose: Honey sweetness combines with light rye and apricot. A touch of caramel follows, along with pear and a slight grassy note. The aroma isn’t overly inviting, but it’s not off-putting either. Instead, the scents are offered up in a matter-of-fact format that is accented by a pinch of heat. Considering its 95% rye mashbill, it doesn’t scream rye, instead balancing sweet and spicy scents.
— Palate: A wash of rye spice is complemented by raisin, honey, and lightly toasted oak. As the spice fades, an unexpected earthy, funky, almost musty flavor develops. It’s an unusual flavor for a younger whiskey, especially one with 95% rye in the mashbill. As for the intensity of the sip, it has enough potency to provide ample oomph, but comes across a bit thin. The dichotomy of flavors proves to be interesting, though immediately strikes me as polarizing.
— Finish: Rye spice reemerges, accompanied by a healthy dose of honey and brown sugar sweetness. As the flavors dissipate, the sweetness continues to intensify against the spice. Straightforward in nature, the interplay of flavors and near perfect level of intensity in the finish is easily the highlight of the sip making for a positive last impression.
