While a high proof point is undeniably one element of the equation, we also believe that the oil-rich, heavy-bodied quality of our pot distillate and highly attentive blending are essential to maintaining complexity, drinkability, and nuance as the age, proof, and oak profile of a whiskey increases. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e90 Proof (ABV 60%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}' class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\"\u003eTHE DISTILLERY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}' class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\"\u003eKings County Distillery is New York City’s premier craft distillery and among the most acclaimed small distilleries in the United States. Focused exclusively on whiskeys, Kings County has made a name for its Bourbon, Peated Bourbon, Empire Rye and other creative whiskeys. We only distill whiskey for our label and we never sell whiskey made from any other source.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKings County’s whiskeys have won numerous awards from the American Distilling Institute, the American Craft Spirits Association, and the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and have been praised by the New York Times, the New Yorker, Whiskey Advocate and many other sources. Kings County’s whiskeys are always mashed, fermented, distilled, and aged onsite in Brooklyn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst located in a 325 square-foot room in East Williamsburg, Kings County began as the smallest commercial distillery in the country, with five 24-liter stainless steel stills making whiskey seven days a week, 16 hours a day. In 2012, the distillery moved into the Paymaster Building in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard, just steps from legendary site of the Brooklyn Whiskey Wars of the 1860s and the former distillery district of the waterfront. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKings County blends distilling practices from a variety of cultures into creative whiskeys that remain traditional while defying convention, using Scottish copper pot stills, open fermentation, and local grains to make American whiskeys that expand the category. One of the preeminent craft distilleries in the United States, the American Distilling Institute named Kings County Distillery of the Year in 2016. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore Our Whiskey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecent Awards\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Distilling Institute - Distillery of the Year 2016\u003cbr\u003eSan Francisco World Spirits Competition - Double Gold, Barrel Strength Bourbon 2021\u003cbr\u003eSan Francisco World Spirits Competition - Double Gold, Best of Category, Bottled-in-Bond 2020\u003cbr\u003eSan Francisco World Spirits Competition - Double Gold, Straight Rye 2020\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Craft Spirits Association - Gold, Innovation Award, Peated Rye\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Craft Spirits Association - Gold, Bottled-in-Bond 2020\u003cbr\u003eSan Francisco World Spirits Competition - Double Gold, Straight Rye 2019\u003cbr\u003eSan Francisco World Spirits Competition - Double Gold, Straight Bourbon 2019\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Craft Spirits Association - Gold, Bottled-in-Bond 2019\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Craft Spirits Association - Gold, Peated Bourbon 2019\u003cbr\u003eAmerican Distilling Institute - Gold, Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon, 2019\u003cbr\u003eASCOT: Best Craft Rye, 2021.\u003cbr\u003eGreat American Intl Spirits Competition - Platinum, Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon 2019\u003cbr\u003eSan Francisco World Spirits Competition - Double Gold, Best of Category, Bottled-in-Bond 2018\u003cbr\u003eInternational Whiskey Competition - Gold, Best Bourbon Bottled-in-Bond 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(among over a hundred other bronze, silver, gold \u0026amp; best-of-category medals)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row sqs-row\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1622841428187_280\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-7 span-7\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-33a4c5d05089eedab43e\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1554964534442_70245\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}' class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, this rye is expressive and in your face, with big notes of green apple, mint, cinnamon, dusty rye grain and black pepper.
