Kings County Distillery Barrel Strength Bourbon is a limited-release straight bourbon bottled at full cask strength, without dilution, to preserve the whiskey’s natural concentration and structure. Produced grain-to-bottle at the Brooklyn Navy Yard using pot stills, it reflects the distillery’s preference for weight, texture, and depth over lighter, column-distilled styles.
The bourbon is aged for several years in new, heavily charred American oak barrels, then released at its natural proof, resulting in a powerful yet layered profile. Aromatically and on the palate, it delivers dense notes of caramelized sugar, dark fruit, vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spices, supported by a firm alcoholic backbone that carries the flavors through a long, warming finish.
Barrel Strength Bourbon is positioned as a transparent, uncompromising expression of Kings County’s house style—intended for experienced bourbon drinkers and best approached neat or with a few drops of water to gradually open its complexity.
