Kentucky Owl The Wiseman Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Resurrected from the Ashes: The Wiseman Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

In the Bourbon heartland, a tale as rich as the spirit it brews unfolds. Welcome to Kentucky Owl®, born in 1879, halted by prohibition in 1916, and revived a century later. A suspicious fire, an organized crime hint, and a lost stock are all part of its lore. Fast forward to 2017, and a Dedman descendant reignites the family legacy, creating a Bourbon truly worth the wait.

The Wiseman Bourbon is the first release from master blender John Rhea under the Kentucky Owl banner. A Double Gold Medal winner at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this blend of four straight Bourbons is as much a phoenix rise story as it is flavor aglow—caramel, allspice, citrus, and oak. Savoring The Wiseman isn’t just enjoying bourbon; it’s indulging in a piece of history that’s risen from the ashes.
