King of Kentucky makes its highly anticipated return in 2025 with a bold new release that celebrates craftsmanship and rarity. Aged for 17 years and drawn from just 63 hand-selected barrels, this single barrel bourbon reflects the meticulous standards of Brown-Forman’s legacy. With only 5,000 bottles available, each one is a collector’s piece—filled, wax-dipped, and numbered by hand.
A press release from King of Kentucky disclosed that only 5,000 bottles are available, with a suggested retail price of $399. Each bottle provides details including the proof, age, warehouse location, lot number, serial number, and barrel number.
“This is the ultimate expression of American whiskey—a bold, robust bourbon that has been aged to perfection,” said Brown-Forman Master Distiller Emeritus Chris Morris. “These 63 barrels, personally selected and tasted from the highest-quality warehouses, are a true masterpiece.”
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 discontinued it in 1968. In 2018, Brown-Forman revived the label, paying homage to the brand’s past. Due to the rarity of these barrels, there is no defined annual volume.
