KENTUCKY OWL BOURBON
Kentucky Owl was founded in 1879 by pharmacist Charles Mortimer Dedman, whose distillery on the banks of the Kentucky River produced "The wise man's bourbon" for decades - until Prohibition put an end to the party in 1916. 250,000 gallons of Kentucky Owl were seized by federal agents and transported upriver to the state capital, where they were "safely stored" in a warehouse.... One night shortly thereafter, the warehouse mysteriously burned down, along with all the bourbon. The Dedmans never received a penny for the lost bourbon, and Kentucky Owl disappeared into the oblivion of family history. Until now.
