Origins
The Legacy of King
Founded in 1881 by the John G. Roach Distilling Co., King of Kentucky is a cornerstone of American whiskey heritage. Retired in the 20th century, the brand was resurrected by Brown-Forman in 2018 as a modern masterpiece. Drawing from the Brown-Forman barrel archives, our Master Distillers curate an annual release of ultra-premium Kentucky Straight Whiskey — a singular, unrepeatable event for those who appreciate rare, refined luxury.
No two barrels the same. Hand bottled, individually numbered, wax dipped.
