LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Old Forester proudly announces the return of its highly anticipated King Ranch Edition — a limited release that celebrates the enduring legacy of Texas and the pioneering spirit of bourbon.
Now in its fourth year, the 2025 edition features a refreshed label. The design features the legendary King Ranch Quarter Horse Peppy San Badger whose power, agility, and spirit embody the very heart of the Ranch along with his renowned trainer Buster Welch – a true icon of the cutting horse world.
Old Forester King Ranch Edition continues to showcase the unique production process: a proprietary batch using heavily charred barrels filtered through King Ranch mesquite charcoal.
Available at select Texas retailers, the King Ranch Edition is bottled at 105 proof and delivers a robust, full-bodied flavor profile.
The bottle’s design and flavor pay homage to the legendary King Ranch — a symbol of Texas resilience and innovation — and the enduring legacy of Old Forester, which has been produced by the same family for over 150 years.
