Kentucky Owl Bourbon is set to release its Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Batch #2 following the release of Kentucky Owl Rye Batch #1.

Handcrafted by Kentucky Owl’s master blender Dixon Dedman, this second batch is expected to further strengthen the company’s credentials and brand footprint within the bourbon and rye whiskey categories.

With 50.9% alcohol by volume (ABV), Kentucky Owl Straight Rye Whiskey Batch #2 delivers a combination of baking spices, honey and red pepper.

“We crafted this straight rye whiskey to be more approachable to the casual drinker.”

Dedman said: “We crafted this straight rye whiskey to be more approachable to the casual drinker while containing all the good parts of whiskey without any of the bad. It’s like you melted a cinnamon roll and gave it a little kick at the end to remind you it was whiskey.

“I was so proud of the product we put out with Kentucky Owl Rye Batch #1 last year, and what we were able to do with Kentucky Owl Straight Rye Whiskey Batch #2, I think is really something special.”

The new whiskey will be released in smaller batch volumes than its predecessor. It will be available in limited quantities with a suggested retail price of $199.99 for a 750ml bottle.

Beginning this month, Kentucky Owl Straight Rye Whiskey Batch #2 will be available across the US market.
