Brown Forman's King of Kentucky 2020 Release 750mL

Brown Forman's King of Kentucky 2020 Release is an exceptionally limited Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from Brown-Forman, representing the third release in the modern revival of the historic King of Kentucky label. The 2020 edition was matured for 14 years and bottled as individual single-barrel, barrel-strength bourbons, with the exact proof varying from barrel to barrel. With only approximately 1,900 bottles released, the 2020 vintage is one of the scarcer early editions of the modern King of Kentucky series.

Fourteen years of maturation creates a powerful and deeply developed bourbon with layers of dark fruit, caramelized sweetness, spice, and mature oak. Aromas of caramel, vanilla, dark cherry, tobacco, and toasted oak lead into a concentrated palate of brown sugar, dried fruit, dark chocolate, leather, cinnamon, and charred oak. The finish is exceptionally long and warming, with lingering caramel, dark fruit, spice, tobacco, and seasoned oak.
