Kentucky's Old Forester Distilling released King Ranch bourbon, a spirit available only in the Lone Star State, on Nov. 1. SouthTexas OldForester Texas bourbon KingRanch whiskey
Just in time for bonfire weather, the collaborative bourbon offers a lingering, warming finish and notes of molasses, leather, cherry, nuts and vanilla. The complex flavors are a result of a proprietary filtration method, which passes the bourbon through charcoal made with mesquite wood from the King Ranch property.
As for the flavor of the charcoal-filtered whiskey, if you envision sipping sauce that somehow incorporates the black lumps yourclick to enlargeOld Forester’s Cole Irvin shows off charcoal in its finished form as he stands next to a special kiln. Armed with a seemingly unlimited supply of mesquite with which to experiment, Irvin became dead-set on developing a method for creating the charcoal. Eventually, he and a dedicated team of ranchers nailed down the process, smoking the cut wood over indirect heat for 12 to 15 hours in a handcrafted steel kiln.
At first glance, the two brands didn't seem to have very much in common, but further investigation proves each company already boasts its fair share of history. And that word"legacy," one that has the potential to sound cliché and contrived, is actually a true point of commonality. The King Ranch's story dates back even farther. In 1852, Captain Richard King and business partner Gideon"Legs" Lewis purchased a 15,500-acre Mexican land grant, then known as the Rincon de Santa Gertrudis, along the Santa Gertrudis Creek. Now King Ranch is the largest operating ranch in the United States, covering an area larger than Rhode Island. Several members of the King family serve on the ranch's board and have a hand in the company's operations.
If you drink barrel-aged spirits in Texas, you know that the state's whiskey market is booming, clocking in at more than a dozen releases from local distilleries in the past 10 months alone. And it's not slowing down.
