Kings County Peated Bourbon Whiskey (375ml)
Volume: 375ml ABV: 45% Age: No Age Statement Country: America
Kings County Distillery is New York City’s premier craft distillery and among the most acclaimed small distilleries in the United States. Focused exclusively on whiskeys, Kings County has made a name for its Bourbon, Peated Bourbon, Empire Rye and other creative whiskeys. Kings County’s whiskeys have won numerous awards from the American Distilling Institute, the American Craft Spirits Association, and the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and have been praised by the New York Times, the New Yorker, Whiskey Advocate and many other sources. Kings County’s whiskeys are always mashed, fermented, distilled, and aged onsite in Brooklyn.
Using malted barley that has been exposed to peat smoke, a practice more common in Scotch whiskies—the malt used for the peated bourbon was grown and kilned in Scotland. So it’s a hybrid whiskey of the two traditions, flavourful and robust from having aged at least 2 years in a new barrel, with an added light smoky finish reminiscent of single-malt. If scotch and bourbon had a baby, this is what it would taste like. As far as we can tell, this was the world’s first-ever peated bourbon and will appeal to the adventurous whiskey traveler who has tried everything.
