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 Summer 2024 release was distilled under the tutelage of master distiller Jim Rutledge and embodies the pinnacle of craftsmanship. This Small Batch release ensures the continuation of our signature “double-rich” flavor promise while maintaining the tradition and excellence that has made Cream of Kentucky a name to remember.
