King of Kentucky 16 Year Review: Is This $350 Bourbon Worth the Hype?

This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, we’re diving into new whiskey releases from Blue Run, Little Book, Very Old St. Nick, 15 Stars, and one of the strangest TTB labels I’ve seen in a while: a goat milk flavored whiskey from Tamworth. On the gaming side, Microsoft is making headlines with 8,000-year Xbox bans for Forza Horizon 6 pirates, while Xbox Game Pass is adding a new Discord Nitro perk. Then it’s time for a Byte-Sized Review of King of Kentucky 16 Year Bourbon. This 2024 release from Brown-Forman is a 16-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 132 proof, with only about 5,100 bottles released. It shares the same mash bill as Old Forester 1924, but at six years older and full barrel strength, does it live up to the King of Kentucky name? Expect deep oak, antique wood, cedar chest, dark roasted nuts, molasses, tannic richness, and a long finish. 🥃 Topics covered: Blue Run Blueprint Bourbon Little Book Chapter 10: All the Wiser Very Old St. Nick Immaculata Bourbon 15 Stars Kentucke County releases Tamworth goat milk flavored whiskey Forza Horizon 6 piracy bans Xbox Game Pass Discord Nitro perk King of Kentucky 16 Year Bourbon review Would you pay $350 for King of Kentucky if you found it at retail?   YouTube Chapter Markers 00:00 Intro – Blue Run, Little Book, Xbox & King of Kentucky 00:28 Welcome + Episode Setup 01:08 Blue Run Blueprint Bourbon 02:47 Little Book Chapter 10: All the Wiser 05:20 Very Old St. Nick Immaculata Bourbon 06:22 15 Stars Kentucke County Releases 08:01 Goat Milk Flavored Whiskey?! 09:22 Gaming News – Forza Horizon 6 Bans + Discord Nitro 11:53 Byte-Sized Review: King of Kentucky 16 Year Bourbon 20:15 Listener Samples + Outro
