About Kentucky Owl
Kentucky Owl was started in 1879 by Charles Mortimer Dedman, a local pharmacist. After marrying, Dedman received land along the Kentucky River as a wedding gift. His adopted father, a town judge, gave him the land. The C.M. Dedman Distillery was built there on the riverbank. It produced “The Wise Man’s Bourbon” under Distilled Spirits Plant Designation “No. 16.” This makes it one of Kentucky’s original distilleries, working in a busy industry.
Kentucky Owl became successful and grew for many years. Prohibition, however, shut down production. The family still had a lot of bourbon stored at that time. Around 250,000 gallons remained, worth about $40 million today. When agents came in 1916, they seized the bourbon. It was taken by barge to Frankfort for storage in a warehouse.
Today, Kentucky Owl is planning a new distillery complex. It will include aging warehouses, a bottling plant, and a vintage dinner train. This new site will be on Cedar Creek Quarry in Bardstown. It will cover 420 acres with lakes and crystal-clear, limestone-filtered water. These features will improve the whiskey they produce.
