Cream of Kentucky Double Rich Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2025) 75cl

The Cream of Kentucky brand was originally introduced in 1888 by I. Trager & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio. Prior to the end of Prohibition, the brand was acquired by the famed Schenley Company and 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 providing the artwork for the brand.

This Cask Strength offers a robust flavour profile that ensures the continuation of our signature “Double-Rich” flavour promise. Personalize your drinking experience with a few drops of water or a cube of ice and unlock the full potential of our cask strength bourbon.

Awarded 98 points & Double Gold at San Francisco World Spirits Competition! This is serious stuff. 

The first release from Jim Rutledge’s new distillery is noteworthy. He was instrumental in Four Roses’ growth over the past two decades and it will be fascinating to see the direction he takes his own distillery in. Cream of Kentucky unfortunately isn’t his own distillate, instead sourced distillate handpicked by Rutledge himself. This perhaps gives us a peek into the direction he may take his own distillate when it comes of age.  

Rutledge’s version Cream of Kentucky is an interesting one though. It’s far from straightforward and features a good amount of complexity, while still maintaining a good degree of flavor balance. It’s quite sweet and fruity which is similar to a Four Roses bourbon, but also offers heavy nut, oak, and bitter notes that aren’t typically found in their bourbon. The result is a bourbon that marries what we love from Rutledge’s product in the past, yet still pushes forward into new territory.

Rutledge is one of bourbon’s all-star veterans and it will be interesting to see what comes next from him and his distillery.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Vanilla wafers blend with minced pie and cashews.

Palate: Pleasing notes of black tea with a whisper of coconut, and dark berries.

Finish: Soft cola fades into a light nutty oak.

About Cream of Kentucky

Introducing the Cream of Kentucky story, a journey steeped in history and tradition that spans over a century. It all began in 1888 when I. Trager, a visionary distiller from Cincinnati, crafted the first batch of Cream of Kentucky bourbon, laying the foundation for what would become an iconic American whiskey brand. In 1901, Cream of Kentucky achieved a significant milestone by securing its place as a registered trademark, solidifying its status as a distinguished bourbon producer.

The brand’s narrative took an intriguing turn before the onset of Prohibition when Lewis S. Rosentiel of Schenley Distillers Corporation acquired four esteemed distilleries, including Cream of Kentucky, known for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship. This strategic move marked a pivotal moment in Cream of Kentucky’s history, as it became part of a distinguished portfolio of renowned bourbon labels.

Today, Cream of Kentucky continues to honor its heritage and legacy, crafting premium bourbon that embodies the double rich tradition and unparalleled quality that has defined the brand since its inception. From its humble beginnings in the late 19th century to its enduring presence in the modern whiskey landscape, Cream of Kentucky remains a testament to the timeless artistry and enduring legacy of American bourbon craftsmanship.

At Cream of Kentucky, we take pride in our heritage as a brand that has been around since 1888. Rooted in a tradition that spans over a century. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every bottle. As we continue to honor the legacy of the brand and the people that have poured their heart into creating a bourbon whiskey like no other. With our “Double-Rich” Flavor Promise, we promise to deliver a whiskey experience that is second to none, with each sip revealing layers of complexity and depth that capture the true essence of Kentucky. We want to ensure that Cream of Kentucky whiskies embody the double-rich tradition that has made it a timeless classic among bourbon and whiskey enthusiasts worldwide.
