History,
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 provided 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,
Nose: The nose opens with inviting aromas of caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and dried fruit.
Palate: On the palate, experience a rich and creamy texture with flavors of butterscotch, toffee, and sweet corn, layered with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and charred oak. The 100 Proof bottling adds a warm, satisfying depth.
Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with lingering notes of oak, vanilla, and a gentle spice, leaving a warm and comforting aftertaste.
