Kings County 3 years Peated Bourbon

€95United States, New York

Facts

Kings County Distillery built Peated Bourbon to bridge two whisky traditions without losing identity. The spirit starts in New York with a high-corn bourbon base, then picks up peat influence from Scottish malt. That contrast gives the dram a clear personality. Sweet caramel and vanilla meet smoke and baking spice, then settle into dark fruit and char. Nothing feels gimmicky or forced. Kings County keeps the style grounded in pot distillation and patient barrel work. The result feels familiar to bourbon drinkers, yet intriguing for peat fans. It rewards slow sipping neat and steady attention.

About the distillery

Distillery

Kings County

Colin Spoelman and David Haskell started distilling in Brooklyn, New York, in 2010. Their first space was just 325 square feet, run with little more than a hot plate and a few small stills. Kings County grew from there, moving in 2012 to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where copper pot stills imported from Scotland now do the work. The distillery's first product was moonshine, an unaged corn whisky that let them start selling almost immediately while bourbon and rye aged in barrels. That early start paid off. Kings County is often called the oldest operating whisky distillery in New York City since Prohibition ended. Its whisky is still mashed, fermented, distilled, and aged on site in Brooklyn today.
