Kings County Distillery Peated Rye 750 ml

Kings County Peated Rye comes from Kings County Distillery in Brooklyn, New York, the oldest operating whiskey distillery in New York City since Prohibition. This release uses peated malt in the mash, an unusual move for a rye whiskey that borrows a technique more associated with Scotch, layering smoke over the rye's characteristic spice. Expect black pepper and campfire smoke on the nose, a spicy, smoky palate, and a warm, lingering finish. It's a distinctive bottle for rye drinkers who want something outside the standard mold.

How to drink Kings County Peated Rye

Sip it neat to catch the smoke-and-spice combination fully — this isn't a whiskey to bury in a sweet mixer.
