Kentucky Owl Bourbon – A Premium Pour to Elevate Your Cocktail Experience
At Sweetbriar’s Art of the Cocktail event on October 8th, we are proud to feature a selection of fine bourbons, including the highly coveted Kentucky Owl Bourbon. Known for its rich and complex profile, this premium spirit is revered among bourbon aficionados, and its inclusion in our mixology class will undoubtedly enhance the experience for all attendees.
Kentucky Owl Bourbon: A Bluegrass Legend
For those unfamiliar with Kentucky Owl, this bourbon may appear as just another high-end option on the shelf. But don’t let its unassuming appearance fool you. This is a bourbon with a cult following—its craftsmanship and flavor complexity make it anything but ordinary.
Batch No. 12, one of Kentucky Owl’s standout offerings, defies the expectations of even the most seasoned bourbon drinkers. It delivers a powerful, smooth pour that belies its 57.9% ABV, offering rich layers of vanilla, oak, caramel, and subtle hints of fruit. While the bottle may not boast a 12-year aging process, it doesn’t need to. The depth of flavors speaks for itself.
Savoring the Flavor: What Sets Kentucky Owl Apart
What makes Kentucky Owl truly shine is the care that goes into blending each batch. Upon the first sip, you’re met with a warm, oaky sweetness—like the comfort of a classic, cozy bar. The aroma draws you in, promising something special, and the taste follows through with layered notes of vanilla, caramel, and dark fruits like raisin and berry. There’s even a slight hint of rice pudding, adding to its unique complexity.
Despite the high proof, there’s a surprising lack of harshness. It’s smooth, inviting, and leaves a pleasant warmth as it lingers on the palate. This is a bourbon made to be savored—not hidden behind mixers, but appreciated for its craftsmanship and depth.
Kentucky Owl Bourbon is a premium spirit with an MSRP ranging from $300 to $400, though you might find it for less at select retailers. It’s a luxury bourbon, to be sure, but for those passionate about quality, it’s worth every penny. Whether you’re a dedicated bourbon enthusiast or simply want to indulge in something extraordinary for the evening, Kentucky Owl promises a sipping experience that’s hard to match.
