Kings County Bottled-in-Bond 7-Year-Old bourbon is distilled, aged and bottled at 100 proof entirely at Kings County Distillery. The Batch 13 release blends two 53-gallon barrels from the Spring 2017 distilling season. Made with an 80% corn, 20% malted barley mashbill, it is pot-distilled using Forsyths and Vendome stills. The corn is sourced from Lakeview Organic in New York, and the malted barley comes from Thomas Fawcett Maltsters in the U.K.
I am glad that I've had the opportunity to taste a real labor of love. It works well with the flavor profile of the flagship whiskey, while offering something new, exciting, and perfect for the holidays.
The bottled-in-bond release I have here is just wonderful whiskey that puts blending prowess on full display. This doesn't drink like any of the single barrels that I have tried from their distillery before, of which I've admittedly been a prior critic.
