Kings County Single Barrel Bourbon Store Pick
In July, Charles brought 2 members from the Saratoga Whiskey Club to King’s County Distillery in Brooklyn. One member, Vinnie, was on the Committee for Saratoga 250, a non-profit organization in charge of the Saratoga Battlefield’s 250th Anniversary Celebration which starts this year. Proceeds from the sale of this barrel pick are going to Saratoga 250.
It was a fun pick choosing between 4 different barrels. They were all very good, so it wasn’t easy, but we think we chose the best barrel to celebrate this great occasion. Come get yours quick before they are all gone!

Holly’s Tasting Notes: Werther’s and a thick caramel frappuccino. Blackberries, Luxardo cherries and some orange oak spice. The palate is full of chai tea spice, black tea, and dark chocolate. With a touch of water, the barley shows itself with a creamy mouthfeel along with roasted chocolate, clove, cinnamon and rich caramel.
