Barrel Strength Bourbon
Shipping & Delivery
Alcohol shipping’s a little different. Carriers charge more, and spirits are very regulated, requiring us to use licensed channels for some states that route orders through retailers. Our shipping rate is standard, and while it’s not next-day delivery, your whiskey will get there safely (usually within 10 business days, sometimes earlier). Please note that all alcohol shipments require a signature at delivery from someone 21+. For more information, go here.
Consistently one of our most coveted bottles and the most widely talked about in bourbon affinity circles is our Barrel Strength Bourbon. 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.

Pot Distilled
Traditional Techniques
Kings County embraces a variety of whiskey cultures and blends them into creative, distinctive whiskeys. We distill for quality over yield using true pot stills manufacturer in Scotland (Forsyths) and Kentucky (Vendome).
Mashbill
We source directly from farmers in NY and maltsters in the UK because we believe that good choices start from the very beginning. We source our grains locally in NY when we can because we believe distinctive ingredients make better whiskey. Here's a breakdown of what grains goes into making this product.
80% Corn
We source our corn from Lakeview Organic. The same farmer we've been using since day one. Klass and Mary-Howell Martens have cultivated a generational farm that grows 100% organic, non-GMO corn right here in the state in the Fingerlakes region.
20% Malted Barley
Our grain comes from Thomas Fawcett Maltsters in the UK. Specifically, we use Golden Promise malted pale barley. Our high-malt mashbill borrows more from Scotch whiskey than traditional bourbons who typically add a flavoring grain such as rye or wheat.
