Kings County Distillery — New York City's oldest operating whiskey distillery, founded in 2010 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard — has built a reputation for pot-distilled, grain-forward American whiskeys with genuine complexity. Their Empire Rye is a New York State rye whiskey, and the Barrel Strength expression represents the pinnacle of that program.

As their barrel-strength offerings gained acclaim, the Kings County blending team refined what makes those releases so coveted: the oil-rich, heavy-bodied quality of their pot distillate, highly attentive blending, and the patience to let the whiskey fully mature. Beginning with the eighth batch — their first with a three-year age statement — annual Empire Rye releases are bottled at barrel strength. High proof, high complexity, and the unmistakable character of Brooklyn craft.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Intense rye spice, dark caramel, toasted oak, and dried fruit
