Cream Of Kentucky Bourbon 13-Year-Old Single Barrel dates back to 1888. Prior to the end of Prohibition, the brand was acquired by the Schenley Company and subsequently 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 provided much of the award-winning artwork for the brand during its heyday.
