INFO
Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition is a rare and exclusive small-batch whiskey that balances modern distilling techniques with classic Bourbon-making skills and traditional Japanese oak barrel maturation.
Kentucky Owl’s Takumi Edition started with a dream of blending whiskey by hand with Suntory’s Master Blender, Yahisa. This led to a partnership between the two distillers and created an extremely unique product.
Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition Bourbon Whiskey is a blend of 4 year, 5 year, 6 year and 13 year old Kentucky straight bourbons with a mash bill containing corn, rye or wheat, and malted barley. It has a light rye bread note on the nose, and a caramel and hint of fruit on the palate. The finish is flavorful and long.

THE DISTILLERY
Kentucky Owl was founded by Charles Mortimer Dedman in 1879, operating until prohibition became law in 1916. At this point, the government seized some 250,00 gallons of Kentucky Owl, taking it away for safekeeping.
One night, the warehouse where the illicit liquor was stored burned to the ground. Oddly, for a building filled with alcohol, the fire lasted only a matter of hours, leading many to suspect the entire Kentucky Owl stock had been whisked away by organized crime to fuel their booming speakeasies.
A hundred years later, the great, great-grandson of C.M Dedman revived the family business and set about blending a bourbon worthy of the Kentucky Owl name. Six years of rigorous research and experimentation lead to the first new whiskey to carry the Kentucky Owl name and since 2017 a series of unique batches have been produced to much acclaim.
