King of Kentucky Small Batch 3 12Yr 700ml

Bold, warming, and built for slow sipping, King of Kentucky Small Batch 3 12Yr is a powerful barrel-strength bourbon with a rich, contemplative feel. Bottled at 63.7% ABV, it reflects classic Kentucky straight bourbon character, aged for 12 years and released in a small-batch style that highlights depth, maturity, and concentrated oak influence. Expect layers of dark caramel, toasted oak, vanilla bean, baking spice, leather, and a touch of dried fruit, with a long, warming finish. Its intensity pairs beautifully with smoked brisket, where char, fat, and smoke meet the bourbon’s spice and sweetness, while dark chocolate draws out deeper notes of cocoa, molasses, and roasted oak. Producer Information: Brown-Forman Brown-Forman is based in Louisville, Kentucky, and began in 1870 when George Garvin Brown sold whiskey in sealed glass bottles to give buyers consistent quality and authenticity. The company built its identity around controlled production, long-term maturation, and brand stewardship, with a practical focus on grain selection, distillation, barrel influence, blending, and aging. It also operates its own cooperage, giving it direct control over the oak barrels that shape color, aroma, texture, and flavor. Beyond American whiskey, Brown-Forman’s portfolio spans Tennessee whiskey, Kentucky bourbon, tequila, Scotch whisky, Irish whiskey, rum, gin, liqueur, and ready-to-drink formats. Its major brands include Jack Daniel’s, Woodford Reserve, Herradura, el Jimador, The Glendronach, Benriach, Glenglassaugh, Slane, Diplomático, Fords Gin, Gin Mare, and Chambord, covering categories from agave spirits and single malts to premium mixers and cocktail-focused releases.
