King of Kentucky 2020 Release 14 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

King of Kentucky 2020 Release 14 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

Claim one of the rarest, most fiercely coveted single-barrel trophys in modern American whiskey with the King of Kentucky 2020 Release 14 Year Old Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml. Representing the third annual revival of Brown-Forman’s historic 1881 label, this ultra-allocated fall 2020 release showcases Master Distiller Chris Morris’s uncompromising selection of extraordinary, long-aged Kentucky barrels—yielding an average of just 26% of their original volume after 14 years of dramatic evaporation.

Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, the 2020 King of Kentucky is crafted from Brown-Forman’s classic high-corn mash bill of 79% corn, 11% rye, and 10% malted barley. Drawn exclusively from Warehouse K and bottled completely uncut and unfiltered at cask strength—typically spanning between 125 and 135 Proof (with flagship barrels hitting 130.6 Proof / 65.3% ABV)—each bottle is filled, wax-dipped, and individually hand-numbered with exact barrel, lot, warehouse, and serial details. With roughly 1,900 bottles produced globally, it stands among the lowest-yield annual releases in bourbon history.

In the glass, it presents a deep, brooding mahogany-umber hue with slow, viscous legs. The nose opens with an opulent, richly layered bouquet of seasoned oak, cigar box, polished leather, wildflower honey, and dark maraschino cherries. On the palate, a dense, mouth-coating, and commanding texture unleashes cascading waves of dark caramel, maple syrup, melted chocolate, rye spice, and cured tobacco, balanced by vanilla bean and deep cherry cobbler richness. The finish is monumental in length and complexity, leaving a warm, dry, and unforgettable trail of ancient oak, sweet cola spice, and lingering cinnamon.
