KINGS COUNTY BLENDED BOURBON WHISKEY

Kings County Distillery in Brooklyn's Navy Yard—steps from the 1860s Whiskey Wars site—revives the near-extinct blended bourbon category by pot-distilling and aging straight bourbon, corn whiskey, rye whiskey, and malt whiskey entirely in-house, never sourcing from other producers. This 43% ABV blend meets the legal 51% straight bourbon minimum while utilizing the distillery's full mature inventory to create honey, caramel, and rye pepper notes with balanced complexity suited for sipping, cocktails, or highballs.

Aged in Brooklyn's humid, temperature-fluctuating environment where barrel interaction differs dramatically from Kentucky's stable warehouse conditions, producing faster maturation and more aggressive wood extraction that contributes color and tannin in shorter aging periods. The distillery lists exact blend composition on each bottle for transparency, distinguishing this New York whiskey from mass-market blends that typically rely on neutral grain spirits and minimal aged whiskey content.
