Kings of Leon's new Kiamichi Whiskey is officially available for purchase. Named for the river where The Followills grew up gathering for extended family reunions, the limited, three-expression collection is a collaboration between the grammy-award-winning family band and the family behind Willett, makers of some of the most well-known and respected Kentucky Bourbons and Rye Whiskeys.

Watch the story of Kiamichi Whiskey:

The Kiamichi Whiskey Collection includes:

  • A 5 Year Rye that is a 12-barrel blend of both Willett rye mash bills aged in Char 5, 24-month cured oak from Hoffmeister Cooperage
  • An 8 Year Rye that is a 6-barrel blend of Willett's low rye mash bill aged in Char 4, 9-month cured oak from ISC
  • A 19-Year Bourbon that is a single barrel proprietary Mash Bill bottled at Cask Strength. This extremely rare and high-end release celebrates the anniversary of Kings of Leon's debut album, Youth and Young Manhood, which debuted 19 years ago.

Initially revealed surrounding the band's headlining performance at Bourbon & Beyond festival in Louisville, KY, last month, the collaboration was born from each family's mutual respect for their craft. Jared Followill, bassist, stated "I've been a big and long-time fan of Drew & Britt [Kulsveen, 2nd generation distillers and sibling owner/operators of Willett]. Meeting Drew and discovering their whiskeys was when I started to understand the huge difference between what's good and what's great. I would bring different bottles of Willett with me to parties and back to reunions and feel like I was bringing something really special. When we started to talk about doing our own brand, they were my first and only call. If they would have said no, we probably wouldn't have done it."

For those lucky enough to live where Willett is normally sold, bottles of all three expressions will be rolling out this week. U.S.-based fans in select states can order exclusively at KiamichiWhiskey.com.
