Castle & Key Distillery, the Kentucky distiller that renovated and revived the historic Old Taylor property in Woodford County, has released the The Untold Story of Kentucky Whiskey Chapter 4 in partnership with the Kentucky Black Bourbon Guild (KBBG). For each release, 100 percent of revenue will be donated to scholarship funds that support diversity, inclusion, and equity within the distilling industry. Only 204 bottles  (52% ABV; $175 SRP) are available for purchase online at castleandkey.com with a limited number available at the Castle & Key 502 retail store in Louisville, Kentucky.

Castle & Key will debut The Untold Story of Kentucky Whiskey, Chapter 4, at a ticketed dinner kicking off SoulFeast Week, a week-long celebration of culture, cuisine, and community that shines a spotlight on Lexington, KY. The Chitlin’ Circuit Farm to Table Dinner will be held on June 19 from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Coleman Crest Farm, Kentucky’s first Black-owned USDA Certified Organic farm; reservations are required. Tickets ($120 each) include a farm tour, a multi-course dinner prepared by James Beard Award Semifinalist Chef Isaiah Screetch, live entertainment, and a first look at the new bourbon, with the opportunity to purchase a bottle on-site.

The Untold Story of Kentucky Whiskey Chapter 4 is a single barrel, cask strength bourbon featuring Hickory King Corn in the mash. Hickory King is an heirloom varietal widely cultivated and was favored for whiskey production a century ago. As part of Castle & Key’s commitment to sustainability, the distilling team worked with Walnut Grove Farms, the primary provider of its grains to ensure the cultivation and preservation of this treasured grain.
