King of Kentucky
View Full Description [+ Read More]
King of Kentucky is a single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon program produced by Brown-Forman, releasing cask-strength expressions drawn from barrels aged between 14 and 17 years. The whiskey is made in Kentucky, where the continental climate - marked by hot summers and cold winters - drives the cyclical expansion and contraction of spirit into charred American white oak, concentrating flavor and deepening color over extended maturation. Each release is bottled from an individual barrel at natural proof, with recorded figures ranging from 126.9 to 134.5 proof across the 2020 through 2024 releases. Annual releases are numbered and strictly limited, with individual barrels yielding as few as 99 bottles. The result is a series of age-dated, high-proof bourbons where vintage, barrel number, and proof vary from release to release, making each bottling a distinct and documentable expression of the program.
