Cream of Kentucky Cask Strength Bourbon

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Cask Strength | 750mL | Rich, Robust & Full-Flavored

Cream of Kentucky Cask Strength Bourbon is a bold expression from the revived Cream of Kentucky brand, a historic bourbon name originally introduced in 1888. Crafted to continue the brand's signature “Double-Rich” style, this cask-strength bourbon is presented without the typical proof reduction, allowing its concentrated character and full barrel influence to shine.

The aroma brings together warm vanilla wafers, sweet pastry, and toasted cashews. On the palate, layers of black tea, dark berries, subtle coconut, and rich baking spice create a distinctive combination of sweetness and depth. The finish develops into soft cola and lightly nutty oak, leaving a warm and lingering impression.

With its high-proof presentation and layered flavor profile, Cream of Kentucky Cask Strength Bourbon is particularly well suited to bourbon enthusiasts who enjoy exploring whiskey with its natural intensity intact. A few drops of water or a cube of ice can open the whiskey further, revealing additional aromatic and flavor nuances.
