“Final Dedman-era Owl rye — 10–13 year Kentucky stocks at 112.8, The Last Rye”
Tasting notes
- nose
- rich oak, roasted almond, caramel brittle, and spiced dark cherry over mature rye
- palate
- sweet full body — dark cherry, almond, caramel, and baking spice with deep oak tannin from 10–13 year stocks
- finish
- long oak-spice fade with lingering cherry-almond
Mash bill
A blend of several whiskeys, so no single grain split.
Undisclosed Kentucky straight rye mash bills — Dixon Dedman blended 10- to 13-year rye stocks for the finale of the original Owl rye series. Grain story is mature Kentucky rye spice and oak rather than a published percentage bill.
- Cask
- New charred American oak
- Best served
- neat
Why it's craft
Ultra-limited independent rye blend closing Dedman's original Owl rye series — age-forward craft blending, not commodity rye.
