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.
Shortly after the Schenley’s took over the company is when their reputation began to build, becoming one of the leading Bourbon brands of the 1930s and 1940s. They even had renowned artist Norman Rockwell doing most of the award-winning artwork for the brand during its heyday. After a bit of a lull, Cream of Kentucky was revived by possibly the single-best person who could have joined the project. With Jim Rutledge at the helm of the J.W. Rutledge owned Distillery, the last few years especially has returned this once great brand firmly back into the spotlight.

Rich and creamy notes of toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, and fresh baked sourdough immediately flood the senses as soon as you pop this one open. Bottled at 100-Proof, you get a little bit of heat on the front palate followed by rich oak, burnt sugar and freshly baked bread. As it starts to open, you get some sweeter, creamy vanilla notes that creep in as well as campfire s’mores and a dash of pepper. The finish is long, and very memorable and leaves you wanting more.
As crazy as it may sound, I think the Dalmore 40 Year may be even more limited and tough to secure than the 45 year. That’s probably due to the fact that despite there being slightly more made than the 45 year, only 58 precious bottles make their way to America. That’s not a lot!! This one spent time in ex-Kentucky Bourbon American oak casks before being moved to 30-year-old Oloroso Sherry butts. Then it was finished in first-fill bourbon barrels, giving it so much dang flavor, energy and depth.
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
I once again found myself with one of the more and limited bottlings from the good people at Michter’s It comes in a round 111 Proof and is a monster from one of the best distilleries out there. This bottling is usually between 107 and 112 Proof but isn’t made every year (only in the good years). It’s oozing with seductive aromas of Cinnamon, rye spice, chocolate and freshly baked gingerbread. Cinnamon, dark chocolate, a hint of Cayenne pepper mixed with charred sugar and oak explode out of the bottle and greet you head on. I wish I had more than six of these beauties to pass out. Such is life.
