When the principles of Bourbon and Japanese Whisky meet in an unexpected perfection.
The original Kentucky Owl Whiskey was made by Charles Mortimer Dedman in the late 1800s. After every drop of this "Wise Man’s Whiskey" in inventory was, ahem… "confiscated" by federal agents under mysterious circumstances at the start of Prohibition, the C.M. Dedman Distillery faded into history. But just a few years ago his great-great-grandson — Dixon Dedman — revived the brand, creating the Kentucky Owl Bourbons and Ryes as small batch, super-premium Spirit blends.
Kentucky Owl is developing a cult-like following of fans who wait eagerly for each release. And no wonder… these things are powerful examples of quality and passion for the Spirits.
With this special, limited-edition release they’ve created a Spirit that’s achieved the impossible – bring to the table everything the Bourbon drinker and Japanese Whisky lover are looking for. A blend of 4-, 5-, 6- and 13-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbons, it comes from a variety of mashbills including corn, rye, wheat and malted barley. So, how did they do it?
A collaboration between Kentucky Owl Master Blender John Rhea, and Yusuke Yahisa of Japanese distillery Nagahama, Rhea and Yahisa worked together. Rhea selected four different formulations and sent them to Japan. Yahisa evaluated them and then created different blends to incorporate his signature Japanese Whisky style into the blend. The final result? Unprecedented perfection.

"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.
Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
