Kentucky Owl Confiscated Bourbon Whiskey pays tribute to the barrels the government seized from Master Blender Dixon Dedmon’s great-great grandfather, C. M. Dedman, during Prohibition. Those barrels were never seen or tasted again. At 96. 4 proof and 48. 2% alcohol by volume, Kentucky Owl Confiscated delivers notes of floral gardenia and honeysuckle, along with grape, red apple, orange cuties, wet banana bread and toasty sourdough bread crust on the nose. The taste is reminiscent of graham crackers, toffee, muted sweet cinnamon spice, and fresh-squeezed orange juice balanced with white grapes and finishing with a hint of cayenne.
