Focused exclusively on whiskeys, Kings County has made a name for its Bourbon, Peated Bourbon, Empire Rye and other creative whiskeys. A true “farm-to-glass” distillery focusing on New York State grain and traditional methods, such as open fermentation and pot distilling to create bold, structurally sound whiskey made 100% on site.
