Kings County Distillery is New York City’s oldest operating whiskey distillery, the first since Prohibition. Founded in 2010, Kings County uses New York grain and traditional distilling equipment to produce whiskey in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, just steps from the former waterfront distillery district and the legendary site of the 1860s Brooklyn Whiskey Wars. Every drop the distillery sells is made in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Kings County Barrel Strength Bourbon is blended from older barrels than their flagship bourbon, aged anywhere from four to seven years. Bold and complex, this is their most consistently acclaimed limited-release offering. Among many awards, Breaking Bourbon listed it as a “Best Craft Whiskey” of 2020.

Batch 17 is a chocolate fudge round oak bomb. Underlying with luscious caramelized sugars with wafts of red and purple fruits.

Cinnamon and black pepper spices immediately before big malty goodness. Cocoa powder tumbled truffle, dark fruits, and massive waves of dry oak.

The finish is big, spiced, and filled with oak.
