Kings County Peated Bourbon

From Kings County Distillery in Brooklyn, this is a straight bourbon built on a mash bill of corn with a proportion of peated malted barley, bringing a distinctly smoky register into an otherwise classic American framework. Fermented and distilled on a small scale and matured in new charred American oak, it sits at the intersection of bourbon richness and peat-derived aromatics. The palate shows caramel, vanilla and toasted corn layered with smoke, ash and a light medicinal edge, with oak tannin giving structure through the finish. The balance leans savoury, with the peat integrated into the grain rather than sitting on top.
