About Kings County Five Bottle Whiskey Gift Set
This gift set contains five King County expressions, the 200ml bottles tucked neatly into a wooden box. You’ll find their Moonshine, Straight Bourbon, Peated Bourbon, Chocolate Bourbon, and Spiced Whiskey inside. The set takes you on a true journey through New York’s premier craft distillery, starting with the unaged and bright Moonshine, going over more familiar ground with the Straight Bourbon, continuing with the Peated Bourbon that employs Scottish peated malt, and ending with the experimental Chocolate whiskey, infused with ground cacao husks, and the seasonal Spiced Whiskey.

About Kings County
Situated along the banks of the East River, Kings County Distillery is New York City’s oldest operating whiskey distillery and the first distillery in New York City since Prohibition. Wedged between Williamsburg and Vinegar Hill, Colin Spoelman and David Haskell, the master distillers at Kings County, make hand-crafted bourbon and moonshine out of the century-old Paymaster Building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
A typewriter the two distillers found on the sidewalk in Williamsburg is used to make the labels that adorn their clear, flask-like bottles, while a hairdryer (made by Revlon) is used to affix each bottle seal. Handwritten scrawls on a chalkboard keep track of different batches, and mesh laundry bags are used as strainers. Haskell and Spoelman use the first alcohol produced from each batch — the “head” — as a disinfectant and sell the used mash to a pig farmer who uses it as feed. “I still don’t understand why it doesn’t make the pigs drunk,” Haskell says.

About American Whiskey
There are two main representatives of the American whiskey family, bourbon, and rye< /a>, but some other spirits don’t fall into those two strictly regulated categories.
There’s equally strictly regulated American single malt, made from 100% malted barley, Tennessee whiskey, essentially bourbon filtered through maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels.
And then there’s moonshine, a high proof (150- 170 proof) distilled spirit mainly made out of corn which gained popularity during the prohibition.
Check out our impressive selection of American single malts, or find your new favorite in our rich whisk(e)y selection, and get familiarized with what the world has to offer.
