Kings County Distillery tells BourbonBlog.com that their 9-Year Black Label Bourbon has been released at the distillery and for online purchase.
Presented in a Brooklyn-made wooden gift box alongside a hand-numbered data card, this limited edition of 181 bottles makes a great holiday gift for new and seasoned whiskey drinkers alike and represents the very best of what craft whiskey can be. At $180, this is the culmination of nearly 15 years of experience of traditional pot-still whiskey production in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and is an exceptional bottle by every definition. Available onsite and online now.
From the Blending Team: “Our final black-label release of 2024 our oldest to date and one of the last 53-gallon barrels to be aged entirely in the hothouse environment of our oldest warehouse location—the second floor of the historic Paymaster Building. Owing to both the peculiarities of that room and its nearly 10-year age statement, Single Barrel #2134 foregrounds an antique-style presentation of oak that stands out even in some of our recent 7- and 8-year-old releases.
“Exceptionally rich and decadent, Single Barrel #2134 opens with a nose of warm mahogany, milk chocolate, pomegranate, and sweet sherry. On the front end of the sip, those same notes persist alongside additional prune, chocolate-covered cherry, blackberry compote, lanolin, and coffee. The lengthy, warming finish is marked by delicate spice, light tannins, maple, and additional amaro-like nuance. After trials of various proof points, the blending team unanimously selected the final bottling proof of 110 as this cask’s ideal balance of texture and complexity.”
