New York-based Kings County Distillery announced a new flagship whiskey in wide release, a blended bourbon made from house-distilled straight whiskeys.

The result is a multi-occasion whiskey for neat sipping or mixing. With a suggested price of $54.99, Kings County’s Blended Bourbon will be its most accessible aged spirit and arrives in sporting a new blue label, one which clearly differentiates this spirit from Kings County’s established bourbon, rye and single malt whiskeys.

By law, blended bourbon must use 51% straight bourbon, but the open-ended definition allows the Kings County’s blending team to use the full breadth of our mature inventory to craft a complex and purposeful flavor profile within the lineup. With this added flexibility, Blended Bourbon can become a volume leader in Kings County’s portfolio, joining an existing line of superlative aged whiskeys.

Kings County’s spirits have been widely accepted and appreciated, but with supply of aged whiskey growing short across the spectrum of American whiskey, Kings County aims to lead the market with a superior all-purpose two-year-old spirit.

With notes of honey, caramel, and rye pepper, this is a flexible whiskey, and one that shows what can be achieved through the use of quality organic ingredients, careful distilling, and creative blending. It also presents a spirit suitable for mixing, creating a new audience for the brand.

Kings County Blended Bourbon will be available throughout New York State starting on Sept. 14 with national rollout to follow.
