King of Kentucky Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey 16yr 2024 Edition

From the heart of Kentucky comes the 2024 edition of King of Kentucky Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey—a 16-year-old expression that captures the pinnacle of small-batch craftsmanship. Bottled at a robust 130.4 proof and drawn from barrels laid down in 2007, this release is a bold testament to the influence of time, warehouse environment, and masterful distillation. With only 5,100 bottles produced, each housed in an embossed label and wax-dipped by hand, this ultra-limited expression honors the brand’s legacy dating back to 1881 while showcasing the finest of modern bourbon artistry.

Aromatically rich and layered, this barrel-strength bourbon unveils notes of dark cherry, saddle leather, toasted oak, and baking spices, evolving into a palate of caramelized sugar, molasses, tobacco, and cocoa. The finish is long, warming, and spiced, offering the depth and complexity expected from extended aging in Warehouses G and J of the Brown-Forman Distillery. Each sip reveals the nuance between barrels and highlights the distinct influence of their respective July and November 2007 origins.

King of Kentucky is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to unlock its full aromatic range. Crafted with traditional bourbon ingredients—corn, rye, and malted barley—this 2024 edition continues the brand’s legacy as one of the most revered single barrel releases in the country. Collectors and connoisseurs alike will appreciate its rarity, intensity, and the careful storytelling etched into every individually numbered bottle.
