The Cream of Kentucky brand dates back to 1888, originally introduced by I. Trager & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio. Acquired by the famed Schenley Company before the end of Prohibition and re-introduced in 1934, the brand grew through the 1930s and '40s into one of America's leading bourbons — with artwork from Norman Rockwell himself gracing its branding.
This Summer 2024 Cask Strength release was distilled under the guidance of legendary Master Distiller Jim Rutledge and embodies the brand's pinnacle of craftsmanship, continuing the signature "double-rich" flavor promise that built Cream of Kentucky's reputation.
