Kings County Peated Bourbon

Description

Kings County Distillery Peated American Bourbon Whiskey (20cl / 45%)

What is Peated Bourbon? It?s bourbon whiskey that conforms to the American requirements for bourbon but is made with malted barley that has been exposed to peat smoke, a practice more common in Scotch whiskies – the malt we use for the peated bourbon was even grown and kilned in Scotland. So it?s a hybrid whiskey of the two traditions, flavourful and robust from having aged in a new barrel, with an added light smoky finish reminiscent of single-malt. If scotch and bourbon had a baby, this is what it would taste like. As far as we can tell, ours was the world?s first ever peated bourbon and will appeal to the adventurous whiskey traveller who has tried everything.

Comments; ?The dram is salt-forward from start to finish, interspersed with rich bursts of flavour. Hot rubber, pretzels, slightly bitter baker?s chocolate, warm leather, and hard candies define the palate… peat is not a primary element, but it is clear that this is an exceptionally complex spirit?. – Whiskey Wash (93) ?Quite stunningly lovely.? (94=Superstar whiskies that all give us a reason to live) Jim Murray?s Whiskey Bible, 2017.
