King of Kentucky Single Barrel 14-Year Bourbon Review

Brown-Forman's King of Kentucky represents the pinnacle of single barrel bourbon craftsmanship, and this particular expression showcases 14 years of careful aging at cask strength. Bottled at an impressive 66.55% ABV (133.1 proof), this non-chill filtered whiskey delivers an uncompromised tasting experience that serious bourbon collectors dream about. Master Distiller Chris Morris personally selected this barrel (Barrel 5, Rick 36, WHSE J, Location 4) on November 16, 2007, demonstrating the meticulous attention to detail that makes King of Kentucky so coveted.

What sets this release apart is its limited availability - bottle number 5 of just 97 bottles from this single barrel. The non-chill filtered process preserves the whiskey's natural oils and compounds, resulting in a fuller mouthfeel and more complex flavor profile. At 14 years old, this bourbon has had ample time to develop deep, rich characteristics while maintaining the bold intensity that King of Kentucky is known for among enthusiasts.
