Kings County Distillery- Blended Bourbon Whiskey
Rarely associated with American distillers, blended whiskey usually calls to mind light-style, crowd-pleasing scotch or Canadian whiskies. While aiming to innovate within that tradition, we set about to create the American analog to those reliable and endlessly versatile spirits.
Our Blended Bourbon is a whiskey for nearly every occasion: complex enough for daily sipping, robust enough for cocktails and highballs, yet approachable enough to accompany a cold beer. It is never sourced and always blended from a variety of aged whiskeys in our inventory. This whiskey is at once a reflection of our ongoing exploration of world distilling traditions as well as a thoughtful revival of an all-but-lost category of American whiskey.
The nose is fresh with sweet vanilla, toasted corn, fresh oak and some apple skins. There's some white chocolate and cereal notes there as well, like Grape Nuts.
The whiskey is soft on the palate with a warm spicy finish. The whiskey is a bit lacking on the palate, just not much depth here. But there's an oiliness and touch of sweetness that makes it not so dry at the end.
Overall the flavor on the finish leans towards the savory side with dried herbs, with just a hint of vanilla sweetness.
