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. Today the King of Kentucky Brand provides whiskey connoisseurs with a rare look into Brown-Forman’s barrel archives through an on-going release of ultra-premium Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey single barrel expressions.

King of Kentucky is an annual/on-going periodic release of a single barrel inventory featuring a barrel-strength, minimally-filtered proof presentation, with each release and every barrel being unique. Due to the rarity of these barrels, there will be no defined annual volume.
