Kings County Distillery Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers a distinctive and innovative expression of America's native spirit, meticulously crafted in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. From one of the nation's most acclaimed small distilleries, this bourbon distinguishes itself with an approach reminiscent of Scotch whisky production, featuring a high-malt recipe and traditional double pot distillation.
The journey to this unique bourbon begins with a carefully selected mashbill: 80% New York-grown organic corn, sourced directly from a single farm in the Finger Lakes region, is blended with 20% premium Golden Promise malted barley from the UK. This formulation notably forgoes the more common rye or wheat additions found in many bourbons. The spirit is then double distilled in traditional copper pot stills and aged for a minimum of three years in new charred oak barrels. This thoughtful process, from grain to glass, results in a whiskey that is both surprisingly robust and remarkably complex for its age.
Expect a smooth yet spicy character to unfold on the palate. Inviting notes of rich caramel and warm vanilla lead the way, elegantly layered with undertones of dark berries. These flavors are beautifully complemented by warming baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, with a subtle hint of black pepper creating a memorable finish. This Kings County bourbon is a testament to creative, quality-driven craft distilling, offering a truly unique and flavorful experience.
