First established in 1881, King of Kentucky has a storied legacy as one of Brown-Forman’s earliest bourbon brands. After a long hiatus, it was revived in 2018 as a limited annual release, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after names in American whiskey. The 2024 release, featuring Barrel #45, is a 16-year-old single barrel expression bottled at 129.3 proof. Every detail, from the hand-applied wax seal to the vintage-inspired labeling, pays homage to the bourbon’s distinguished past. This bottle reflects King of Kentucky’s rare single-barrel tradition, with each barrel individually selected and bottled to highlight its unique journey. The 2024 edition stands as a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to own a piece of Kentucky whiskey heritage, offering a direct link to its origins and the enduring legacy of Brown-Forman’s original bourbon line.
