King of Kentucky Second Edition Bourbon Tasting Notes
Nose: This nose is full of flavor right from the get go. Baking chocolate, spiced raisins, cinnamon stick, preserved peaches, crispy baked pie crust, sweet aged leather. Ethanol is definitely present, but doesn’t distract from the other aromas. This nose smells delicious, especially considering the proof it’s clocking in at.
Palate: The sip starts with a lot of heat dominating up front. Searching beyond it I find rye spice, leather, baking chocolate, white pepper, and a dab of sweetness.
Finish: A warmth lingers in my mouth after the sip finishes. It’s immediately noticeable that the sweetness from the nose and palate are gone. The age of this bourbon becomes apparent in the predominant form of dry tannic oak and leather, which are are joined with a slight hint of green peppercorns. The finish lingers on oak and leather along with a heat that stays in your chest for a while.
Distillery Information
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.
