Just delish! Nice high proof, but very approachable for the proof, delicious, thick mouthfeel.

About this bottle
King of Kentucky is a whiskey brand first introduced in 1881. Brown-Forman acquired the brand in 1936 but retired it in 1968. Now 50 years later, they have resurrected King of Kentucky, now as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon (formerly it was a blended whiskey). The name is a reference to horse racing, "the sport of kings". It is made from their Early Times mash bill (79% corn, 11% rye, 10% malted barley) and aged in new, charred American oak for 14 years. It aged in a heat-cycled warehouse for the first 7 years and the last 7 years without. These are single barrel releases so expect to see proof ranging from 125-135. Only 960 bottles available. Expected release June 2018.
