On Wednesday, rock band Kings of Leon’s new Kiamichi Whiskey was officially released and is now available for purchase online. The limited collection comprises three expressions and is a collaboration between the band and Kentucky distillery Willett.

The whiskey is named after the Kiamichi River, where brothers and bandmates Caleb, Jared, Nathan and Matthew Folowill grew up gathering for family reunions.

The release comprises three whiskeys: a 5-year rye that is a 12-barrel blend of both Willett rye mashbills aged in Char 5, 24-month cured oak; an 8-year rye that is a 6-barrel blend of Willett’s low-rye mashbill aged in Char 4, 9-month cured oak; and a 19-year bourbon that is a single-barrel release bottled at cask strength. The 19-year whiskey is a nod to the 19th anniversary of the band’s debut album, “Youth and Young Manhood.”

The band first announced the whiskey in September.
