Aged between five and ten years, our barrel strength illustrates how well-made, pot still whiskey shows its strength at higher proof. Often more potent than barrel strength bourbons from other brands, our barrel strength bourbon is one of our most awarded offerings and is often highly collectable batch to batch. Enthusiasts often prefer whiskey undiluted from the barrel, as it offers a more intense concentration of flavor. Bold and rich, this is our most consistently acclaimed limited-release offering, with Best of Category awards from ACSA, Double Platinum from San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and Best Craft Whiskey from the New Orleans Spirits Competition. Appearing only once or twice in limited runs each year, this bottle is truly the superlative Kings County addition to any collection. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kings County Distillery","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43206840582306,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/6290\/6018\/files\/kcd-bottle-bsstraightbourbon-750-WEB.jpg?v=1777554120"},{"product_id":"peated-bourbon","title":"Peated Bourbon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"What is Peated Bourbon?
