Kentucky Owl Confiscated Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL pays tribute to the legacy of founder C.M. Dedman and the barrels of bourbon once seized by the government before Prohibition — hence the name “Confiscated.” This exceptional small-batch release continues the Kentucky Owl tradition of bold, complex, and refined bourbon blending.

Crafted from a selection of well-aged Kentucky bourbons, Confiscated is bottled at 96.4 proof, offering a smooth yet powerful sip that balances rich sweetness with layered spice. Expect notes of caramel, oak, and vanilla wrapped in hints of cinnamon, pepper, and fruit. True to the Kentucky Owl name, it’s a sophisticated, full-bodied bourbon that honors the past while standing firmly among modern whiskey greats.
