Brown Formans King of Kentucky 2020 | 14 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

King of Kentucky is returning this year with the release of its third edition. Hitting shelves in September, this will be the third release for the brand. Historically only available in Kentucky, this year the expression will also be available in limited quantities in select markets in Illinois and Ohio. King of Kentucky was established in 1881 as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Brown-Forman acquired the brand in 1936 from Selected Kentucky Distillers and, by 1940, converted it to a blended whiskey until it was discontinued in 1968. In 2018, Brown-Forman revived the lapsed label paying homage to the brand’s past.
