{"product_id":"9-year-single-barrel-bourbon-4588","title":"9-Year Barrel Strength Single Barrel Bourbon #4588","description":"\u003cdiv draggable=\"false\"\u003eFrom time to time throughout the year, we release a superlative single barrel or small blend that is worthy of our black label. I’ve opined on the joys of older whiskeys here [\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kingscountydistillery.com\/blogs\/journal\/how-long-should-whiskey-age\" title=\"Colin's Column: How Long Should Whiskey Age?\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003elink to journal\u003c\/a\u003e], but now some particulars on our second black label of the year: our 9-Year Single Barrel Bourbon, releasing Saturday, August 1st at noon and Monday, August 3rd at 2 pm EST.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv draggable=\"false\"\u003eThis bourbon barrel was entered on February 4th, 2017, which maybe doesn’t sound like a long time ago, but it was only about 2 weeks after the end of Obama’s presidency, which put things in a little more perspective. This 53-gallon ISC Char #4 barrel was aged entirely in Brooklyn, at our Cook St. warehouse. Bottled just 219 days shy of being aged a full decade, this is really a rare example of a fully mature craft bourbon. Bottled at 134 proof, this whiskey benefits from a little water to tamp down some of its heat. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv draggable=\"false\"\u003ePulled from the same lot as a 7-Year Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon that came out 2 years ago, this barrel was waiting for its time in the spotlight. As well-aged American whiskey becomes a little easier to find, I’ve been thinking about age as a virtue (and a conceit). If age and rarity become separated again, it augurs for a more interesting time in whiskey once again. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kings County Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47439775137954,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/6290\/6018\/files\/kcd-bottle-9yo-bsbourbon-4588-750-WEB.jpg?v=1784294307","url":"https:\/\/www.kingscountydistillery.com\/products\/9-year-single-barrel-bourbon-4588","provider":"Kings County Distillery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
