Overview

The Cream of Kentucky brand was originally introduced in 1888 by I. Trager & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio. Just prior to the end of Prohibition, the brand was acquired by the famed Schenley Company and subsequently re-introduced in 1934. Through the 1930s and 1940s Cream of Kentucky grew to become on of the leading bourbon brands, with renowned artist Norman Rockwell providing much of the award winning artwork for the brand during its heyday.
Tasting notes

Nose: Maraschino cherries, cola, vanilla, peanuts, citrus, some astringency (nail polish remover, wood varnish), a hint of confectionery goods.

Palate: Lots of tannins. Sweet. More Maraschino cherries, cola, vanilla. Citrus note from the nose develops into blood orange. Nutty, oaky, caramel. A cotton candy note pops up on the tail end of the palate. The sweetness and lack of spice notes suggest this is a low rye mash bill.

Finish: Medium length. More tannins. Slightly dry. Pipe tobacco, floral, peppery. Blood orange and cotton candy notes from the palate continue and linger on the finish.

Reviewers are divided on Cream of Kentucky 7.5 Year BiB Rye. Barrel Burner and Bourbon Guy enjoyed cherry, cola and vanilla layers, but Bourbon Bossman 2025 called it disappointing with 'so much wood, acetone and rubber.' Jim Rutledge name draws scrutiny; most find the $100+ price hard to justify.
