59: Kentucky Owl and Dixon Dedman

Man holding two bottles of Kentucky Owl

On this week’s episode, The Bourbon Lens travels to the historic Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg, KY to sit down with Kentucky Owl Co-founder, Dixon Dedman. Dixon resurrected his great-great grandfather, Charles Mortimer Dedman’s whiskey brand that had fallen victim to prohibition in the early 1900’s. The Kentucky Owl name laid dormant until Dixon had the idea to revitalize the family brand. 

Kick back and enjoy our conversation with Dixon, as we talk about growing up in his family’s Beaumont Inn, and the historic relevance of this Inn that his family has owned since 1919. Hear Dixon’s interesting tales of his great-great grandfather, C.M. Dedman, and what inspired him to bring back a brand that had been a family ghost for nearly 100 years. Dixon talks about what it takes to masterfully blend excellent whiskey and what the partnership with the SPI Group means for Kentucky Owl.

We had a lot of fun sharing some pours with Dixon at the Beaumont Inn, we hope you enjoy the conversation too, Cheers!
