King Charles Vodka is produced by Charleston Distilling Co. on Johns Island, South Carolina. It is distilled from a mash of locally sourced corn and rye, with production handled entirely on-site from milling through bottling. It is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) and typically retails for around $25.
A modest sweetness offers a brief respite from the funkiness at the core here, but it’s a tough road to overcome the heavy notes of forest floor and pungent grains.
