Distillery: King of Kentucky

An ultra-premium single barrel bourbon release renowned for its rarity, intense concentration, and exceptionally mature Kentucky character. The 2026 edition continues the modern revival of King of Kentucky with heavily aged barrels selected for deep oak complexity, dark caramel richness, and layered spice. Bottled at natural barrel strength and presented as individual single barrels, each release offers slight variation while maintaining the dense, old-school profile that has made the label one of the most coveted names in contemporary bourbon collecting.

Finish: Extremely long and warming with lingering oak tannin, pepper spice, cocoa bitterness, tobacco notes, and caramelized sweetness.

Distillery Information

King of Kentucky was originally introduced in the 19th century before eventually disappearing from the market for decades, later revived by Brown-Forman as a highly limited annual release. Produced in Kentucky using mature stocks from Brown-Forman’s warehouses, the modern version quickly became one of the most sought-after bourbons in the secondary market due to its age, scarcity, and consistently high quality. Unlike large-scale batched releases, King of Kentucky is bottled as single barrels, allowing enthusiasts to experience the unique personality of each cask. The 2026 edition continues the brand’s reputation for delivering deeply mature Kentucky bourbon with intense concentration, classic oak structure, and collector-level prestige.
