Kentucky favorite Old Forester is partnering King Ranch, the largest ranch in the US, to create a 105 proof (52.5% ABV) Kentucky Bourbon. The new expression has been matured in heavily charred barrels and then finished through King Ranch mesquite charcoal originating from King Ranch's own mesquite trees.

The new expression celebrates the history of the Brown family of Brown-Forman, which owns the Old Forester brand, and the family of King Ranch's founder Richard King.
