2024 Edition of Old Forester King Ranch Drops in Texas
Old Forester and King Ranch released the third annual batch of their limited-edition whiskey – Old Forester King Ranch.
The bourbon pays homage to the hard work, ingenuity and lasting legacy of two iconic brands with 300 years of combined American history – the whiskey heritage of the Brown family of Brown-Forman and the farming lineage of King Ranch founder Richard King.
“This bourbon is rich and bold in taste – the perfect tribute to two rich and bold American brands,” Old Forester Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo said in a news release.
Available only in Texas starting October 15, 2024, Old Forester King Ranch Edition is bottled at 105 proof from a proprietary batch of Old Forester Bourbon using heavily charred barrels. The bourbon is finished through King Ranch mesquite charcoal. The charcoal was created from mesquite trees harvested from the ranch, a process that brings a touch of Texas and helps highlight the bold flavor notes of the bourbon.
“We are proud of our continued partnership with Old Forester and looking forward to another release of this special product,” Robert Hodgen, CEO of King Ranch, said. “Texans have found the whiskey a rare treat and every year have been anxiously anticipating its release each October.”
“Bourbon lovers across Texas will sip the unique blend of flavors that live up to the legacy of our founder, George Garvin Brown, with quality and taste while honoring the impact King Ranch has had on the Lone Star State – and on American ranching,” Trigo said. “The first two batches, released in 2022 and 2023, sold very quickly so we are honored to bring this bottle back to shelves in 2024.”
The suggested retail price for King Ranch is $99.99.
