Kentucky Owl today revealed Batch #1 of Kentucky Owl 11-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey. The whiskey will be available this September in limited quantities, in select markets, at a suggested retail price of $130 for a 750 ml bottle.

“Good rye, to me, is not an everyday pour. It’s a sipping whiskey that, at its core, should be thought-provoking and heavy-hitting,” says Dixon Dedmon, Master Blender. On the heels of a seven-market release of Kentucky Owl Bourbon Batch #7, Dedman crafted the small batch rye from a collection of barrels that were blended and brought to 110.6 proof and 55.3% alcohol by volume.

Kentucky Owl 11-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey will be available in limited quantities beginning in September 2017 in the following markets: California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
