Kings County Distillery 2 year old Blended, 43%

Price: 55 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Bread, berries, and apples kick this whiskey off: think blueberry muffin, strawberry Pop Tart, and apple-cinnamon hand pie on the nose. It grows breadier as you stick with it, really driving those bakery notes home. The palate is creamy and it keeps those yeasty, fruity qualities alive, but also introduces a more herbaceous experience thanks to hints of citrus peel and spearmint. Though the finish is somewhat lacking in length, it delivers a delightful note of green tea with honey and lemon.
