Kings County Blended Bourbon Whiskey Review

Tasting Notes

Nose: Vanilla and caramel, with light oak and sweet corn.

Palate: Buttery and creamy, with caramel, toffee and gentle spice.

Finish: Oak, toffee and delicate spice linger.

Summary

Kings County Distillery’s 43% ABV Blended Bourbon is a Brooklyn-made, pot-distilled blend of mature bourbon, rye, malt and corn whiskeys, rather than straight whiskey diluted with neutral spirit. Batch recipes vary, but the house style is intentionally lighter and versatile, combining a buttery texture with vanilla, caramel and toffee notes.

Interesting Facts

• Kings County uses pot stills made by Forsyths in Scotland and Vendome in Kentucky.
• The blend draws on New York corn and rye, UK Golden Promise malted barley, and Scottish peated Chariot malt across its available mashbills.
