King of Kentucky Small Batch 1
105 Proof
12-18 Years
Small Batch Bourbon
Brown-Forman
$299 MSRP
75% Corn, 15% Rye, 10% Malted Barley
Nose
Classic Brown-Forman — cherry pie crust, toasted coconut, and vanilla.
Palate
Sharp turn into incredibly dry and tannic territory. Bitter dark cacao, leather, and heavy oak tannins. No real sweetness — demands your attention.
Finish
Remarkably long. Dry tannins linger on the back of the palate. Pairs perfectly with a dark Maduro cigar.
Overall Score
4.1 / 5
A complex, dry pour from 12-18 year old barrels. Not for the sweet-tooth — this is cigar bourbon.
