Cream of Kentucky Cask Strength Bourbon

The Cream of Kentucky brand was originally introduced in 1888 by I. Trager & Co. of Cincinnati,
Ohio. Just prior to the end of Prohibition, the brand was acquired by the famed Schenley Company and subsequently re-introduced in 1934. Through the 1930s and 1940s Cream of Kentucky grew to become one of the leading bourbon brands, with renowned artist Norman Rockwell providing much of the award-winning artwork for the brand during its heyday. Cream of Kentucky is now owned by J.W. Rutledge, and Jim has recently purchased a limited supply of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey he feels is worthy of the rebirth of Cream of Kentucky Bourbon as a premium whiskey.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is simple: oak, baking spice, a little jam cake
and that's about it. On the palate it leads with toffee, baking spice, black pepper, dark stone fruit, some dried fig, a little pipe tobacco and some charred oak. It finishes warm and hangs around for a long time. Judging by its light color and lean mouthfeel, I'm guessing it's about 5 years old, which would explain its lack of complexity.

This Cask Strength offers a robust flavor profile that ensures the continuation of our signature “Double Rich” flavor promise. Personalize your drinking experience with a few drops of water or a cube of ice and unlock the full potential of our cask strength bourbon.
