Kentucky Owl — a blended Kentucky straight bourbon paying tribute to the government’s seizure of the original Kentucky Owl barrels from C.M.

Dedman in 1879 and operated until the federal government confiscated his barrels as Prohibition approached. The brand lay dormant for nearly 100 years before Dixon Dedman revived it in 2014 in partnership with Stoli Group, and the Confiscated expression is a direct reference to that founding seizure — a blend designed to honor the spirit (literally and figuratively) of what was lost in 1920.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfiscated is Kentucky Owl’s entry-level blended expression — below the numbered Batch series and the specialty releases in the lineup — presenting the Kentucky Owl flavor philosophy at an accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Owl \/ Stoli Group, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confiscated — standard expression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/kentucky-owl\"\u003eKentucky Owl at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the historical story behind Confiscated?\u003c\/strong\u003e C.M.
