King of Kentucky 17Yr 133.7 Proof - Item Code: 09771
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
One sip of King of Kentucky 17Yr 133.7 Proof hits like a warm, velvet-lined wave of caramelized sugar and toasted oak, the kind that makes you pause and let the heat bloom. This United States bourbon whiskey carries its age with authority, offering deep aromas of vanilla bean, dark toffee, charred barrel staves, and a spicy lift of cinnamon and clove that turns into a long, peppery finish. Bottled at 133.7 proof with an ABV of 66.85%, it’s distilled from a grain mash and matured in oak barrels, concentrating bold flavors that stand up beautifully to smoked brisket, or, for a richer contrast, dark chocolate that echoes the whiskey’s cocoa, burnt sugar, and roasted nut tones.
Producer Information: Brown-Forman
Brown-Forman began in Louisville, Kentucky in 1870, when pharmacist George Garvin Brown started bottling whiskey to guarantee consistent quality at a time when spirits were often sold by the barrel with variable purity. That founding idea still shows up in a production mindset built around control and consistency: careful barrel selection, long-term aging programs, and a steady focus on house style, especially in American whiskey and Tennessee whiskey made in the U.S. South. From its Kentucky base the company grew into a global spirits portfolio that includes Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey from Lynchburg, Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Versailles, Old Forester from Louisville, Herradura and el Jimador tequilas from Jalisco, Finlandia vodka from Finland, and Korbel California sparkling wine, with a category reputation anchored in oak-driven maturation, blending discipline, and a preference for incremental craftsmanship over shortcuts.

American Whiskey: Origins, Flavor & Pairing Guide
View All American Whiskey Products →American Whiskey is a distinct category of distilled spirits primarily made from grains such as corn, rye, barley, and wheat. This spirit is characterized by its unique distillation methods—either pot still or column still—and is aged in new charred oak barrels. The aging process varies by type; for instance, straight whiskey must be aged for a minimum of two years. The flavor profiles differ significantly among styles: Bourbon offers sweet notes of caramel and vanilla with hints of spice, while Rye Whiskey presents a spicier character with peppery undertones and citrus hints.
The texture of American Whiskey can range from smooth to rich, depending on the specific style being enjoyed. Regions like Kentucky are renowned for Bourbon production, while Tennessee is known for its mellow Tennessee Whiskey that often undergoes charcoal filtering. Commonly used in classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and Manhattan, American Whiskey can also be savored neat or on the rocks. Understanding terms like mash bill and proof further enhances appreciation for this versatile spirit.
