King of Kentucky 16 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2023 Release 130.7 Proof 750ml
King of Kentucky 16 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2023 Release is Brown-Forman's sixth annual edition of this super-premium allocated bourbon, hand-selected by Master Distiller Chris Morris from 51 barrels aged 16 years at the Brown-Forman Distillery in Louisville. Every barrel in this release came from a single production date, July 19, 2007, and matured together in Warehouse G, distilled from a mash bill of 79 percent corn, 11 percent rye, and 10 percent malted barley.
This particular barrel is bottled at cask strength 130.7 proof, on the higher end of the 2023 release's range of roughly 125 to 135 proof, since each individual barrel varies by nature of single barrel bottling. Bottled non-chill filtered, expect dark chocolate mocha, charred oak, dusty leather, and burnt brown sugar on the nose, layered with dark graham cracker, port, cognac, and coconut-covered milk chocolate. The palate delivers orchard fruit, cherry, black pepper, and toasted oak, finishing long and warming with mint and spicy heat.
Every King of Kentucky bottle is individually filled, wax-dipped, and hand-numbered with its specific proof, age, warehouse location, and barrel number. With only 3,800 bottles produced across the entire 2023 release, this is a landmark pickup for serious bourbon collectors chasing one of Brown-Forman's most coveted and hardest to find annual releases.
