Kentucky Owl St. Patrick's Edition Bourbon Release No. 1 – 70cl, 50% ABV

Kentucky Owl St. Patrick’s Edition Bourbon Release No. 1 marks a historic collaboration between Kentucky Owl and Irish Whiskey Bonder, Louise McGuane. This limited edition release celebrates the shared expertise and craftsmanship that unites the finest whiskey-making traditions of Kentucky and Ireland. A true testament to the bond between the two regions, this bourbon is as much about the spirit of collaboration as it is about exceptional flavour.

A Toast to Tradition and Innovation

Founded in 1879 by Charles Mortimer Dedman, Kentucky Owl was born on the banks of the Kentucky River and quickly gained a reputation for producing “The Wise Man’s Bourbon.” After a hiatus, Dixon Dedman, the great-great-grandson of Charles, reignited the brand’s legacy with a focus on artfully crafted, small-batch bourbons that have taken the whiskey world by storm. Each release from Kentucky Owl has become a cult sensation, often selling out solely by word of mouth.

In the St. Patrick’s Edition, Dedman and Louise McGuane have joined forces to create a Kentucky Straight Bourbonthat blends rare barrels to craft a distinctive flavour profile. Expertly blended by Master Blender John Rhea, this bourbon pays homage to both the American and Irish whiskey-making traditions.

Flavour Profile: Bold, Rich, and Distinctive

On the nose, the St. Patrick’s Edition invites you to experience a bouquet of rich, complex aromas, which include vanilla, toasted oak, and hints of dark fruit. On the palate, a deep, full-bodied experience unfolds with notes of caramel, spiced oak, and a subtle touch of herbal sweetness, likely a nod to the Irish influence. The finish is long and smooth, with a warming sensation that leaves a lingering impression of oak and honeyed sweetness.

A Limited Release with a Unique Legacy

As part of a limited release, this St. Patrick’s Edition stands as a tribute to the union of Irish and Kentucky whiskey-making. Its artistry reflects both the historical bond and the shared passion for exceptional craftsmanshipthat defines both traditions.

This inaugural release is a truly special addition to the Kentucky Owl collection, one that will surely be treasured by connoisseurs and collectors alike.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy this bourbon neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail like an Old Fashioned to fully appreciate its bold and intricate flavours.
