Stoli Group releases Kentucky Owl The Wiseman Bourbon expression

The Stoli Group today announced the release of the Kentucky Owl The Wiseman Bourbon expression in the UK. Kentucky Owl The Wiseman is the first Kentucky Owl release under Master Blender John Rhea, a 40-year Bourbon industry veteran who joined Kentucky Owl in June 2021. 

Amber Beverage UK, part of the Amber Beverage Group, is the UK distributor of Kentucky Owl and will be introducing the brand to premium on-trade and off-trade accounts from March 2022.

This luxury, premium Bourbon is a blend of Kentucky Owl 4-year-old wheat and high-rye bourbons, along with 5 ½-year and 8 ½-year-old Kentucky-sourced bourbons. Kentucky Owl The Wiseman is the latest addition to the Kentucky Owl portfolio, with its last blended bourbon, Confiscated, released in 2019. 

“Kentucky Owl The Wiseman is an artful balance of soft wheat and spicy high-rye that provides a smooth but complex bourbon designed to drink neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail,” said John Rhea, Kentucky Owl Master Blender. “It leads with a beautiful caramel flavour and aroma followed by notes of allspice, citrus fruit and a nudge of oak.”   

“Kentucky Owl The Wiseman is the beginning of the next chapter for Kentucky Owl and Stoli Group,” said Damian McKinney, Global CEO of Stoli Group. “As a family of exceptional brands, we are continuing to evolve, innovate and grow across all segments of the spirits market.”

BV: 45.4 percent| RRP: £60.00 | UK Size: 70cl. Available from Master of Malt, Hedonism, Royal Mile Whiskies, Milroy’s, Amazon and other good retailers from early April.
