King Of Kentucky 14 Year Old Bourbon 2018 Release Single Barrel #1 134.3 Proof

134.3 proof. 14 years. Single barrel #1. King of Kentucky 2018 — the founding barrel designation of the original King of Kentucky program year, and the highest-proof barrel in the current Wooden Cork KoK 2018 collection.

The 2018 King of Kentucky was the revival of the historic Brown-Forman program — the original King of Kentucky bourbon had been produced from 1881 until 1988 when it was discontinued. The 2018 release was the founding expression of the revived single barrel program, making every 2018 barrel a piece of the program's second chapter. Barrel #1 at 134.3 proof is both the founding barrel designation and the highest-proof expression in the 2018 collection.

The Wooden Cork KoK collection now spans six vintage years: 2018 (14yr), 2019 (15yr), 2020 (14yr), 2021 (14yr), 2022 (15yr + 18yr), 2023 (16yr), 2024 (16yr) — the most comprehensive King of Kentucky single barrel archive available from any single specialty retailer.
