Revived by Brown-Forman in 2018 after a 50-year absence, the brand offers whiskey connoisseurs a rare look into Brown-Forman's legendary barrel archives — and this release marks an historic new chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor the first time in over 90 years, King of Kentucky introduces a Small Batch collection. Batch 1 is the inaugural release of this three-batch limited series, built from a curated blend of approximately 100 hand-selected barrels aged 12 to 18 years across multiple Brown-Forman rickhouses. These barrels were originally earmarked as single barrel candidates — the very best of Brown-Forman's aging stocks — before being set aside to develop even further depth and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAged in Brown-Forman's iconic heat-cycled warehouses, the evaporation is extreme: some barrels retained as little as 16% of their original volume, concentrating every drop into something truly extraordinary. Bottled at 52.5% ABV (105 proof) without chill filtration, Batch 1 delivers the lowest proof of the three batches — and the most rounded, balanced expression of the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMashbill: 75% Corn · 15% Rye · 10% Malted Barley Master Distiller: Chris Morris\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"King of Kentucky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52017893245229,"sku":null,"price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/0272\/3373\/files\/IMG-0601.heic?v=1777064673","url":"https:\/\/www.hiproof.com\/products\/king-of-kentucky-12-year-small-batch-batch-1","provider":"Hi Proof","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
