King of Kentucky, a super-premium straight bourbon, is returning this year with the release of its sixth edition.
The 2023 expression is a 16-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon, featuring a premium embossed label with a stamp border and details. Approximately 3,800 bottles will be produced. As with all King of Kentucky bourbons, the 2023 release is made from a mash bill of 79% corn, 11% rye, and 10% malted barley. This year’s series of single barrels all come from the same distillation date — July 19, 2007 — and carry a 16-year age statement.
King of Kentucky received rave reviews right out of the gate, and its highly allocated nature only added to the allure; most releases are limited to well under 4,000 bottles, the majority of which are available only in the Kentucky market.
