King of Kentucky is back with its third annual edition, comprising approximately 1,900 bottles originating from 32 barrels with an average yield of only 26%. While all barrels were distilled on June 27, 2006, bottles will offer slightly different flavor profiles depending on the barrel and proof as this is a single barrel bourbon. This year’s edition is no different than the 2019 or 2018 editions, featuring oak but still providing an incredibly complex, bold, full-flavored sip. It’s easily on my short-list of possible candidates for favorite whiskeys of the year again this year.
