King of Kentucky 17 Year Old Bourbon (2025 Release): The Crown Jewel
Long live the King. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for the world's most exclusive and allocated spirits, is honored to present the King of Kentucky 17 Year Old Bourbon 2025 Release. This ultra-limited single barrel series from Brown-Forman is widely considered one of the finest bourbons in existence, and the 2025 edition is a masterpiece of patience and power.
Selected by Master Distiller Chris Morris, this release is drawn from just 63 exceptional barrels, all distilled in 2007. These barrels were aged for 17 years in heat-cycled warehouses (Warehouses G and J), a process that forces the whiskey deep into the oak, extracting immense color, flavor, and complexity.
Bottled at Barrel Strength, the proof for this release varies by individual barrel, typically ranging between 124.4 and 135 proof. Uncut, unfiltered, and uncompromising, this is bourbon in its purest, most potent form.
Tasting Profile:
Nose: An explosive and decadent bouquet. Expect profound notes of dark chocolate, rich molasses, and cherry cola, layered with antique leather, seasoned oak, and pipe tobacco.
Palate: A massive, viscous, and mouth-coating experience. Deep waves of burnt brown sugar, maple-soaked raisins, and dark fruit are perfectly balanced by a robust, tannic oak structure and warming spice.
Finish: An eternity. The finish is incredibly long, dry, and complex, with lingering notes of espresso, baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), and a satisfying, sweet char.
This is a "unicorn" bottle—a true trophy for the serious collector. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this highly allocated King of Kentucky release. Secure your bottle today and experience the pinnacle of Kentucky bourbon.
