King of Kentucky 12-year-old Small Batch (Batch 3) is a Kentucky straight bourbon with a stated age of 12 years. For a novice drinker, that generally suggests a fuller, more oak-influenced style than younger bourbon, while still centered on the classic bourbon profile of sweetness from corn and maturation in new charred oak.
Expect a richer, more mature take on bourbon rather than something light or delicate. Small-batch bottlings are typically presented as carefully selected blends of a limited number of barrels, aiming for depth and consistency within a batch.
