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