Intro:
A blend of 5 whiskeys, this release from New York State's King's County Distillery features whiskey from 2 to 4 years old, from a variety of cask types and mashbills.
-
Nose:
Intensely sweet, buttery and loaded with notes like fresh popped popcorn, caramel and honey. It's powerfully malt forward, and signs of youth are apparent left and right.
-
Taste:
On the palate, there's a richness and oily viscosity, but overripe oranges, graininess, musty wood and cardboard are intensely perceptible. No heat, there's a pleasant sweetness, but the lack of aging is once again apparent.
-
Finish:
Short finish, a blend of caramel, sweet corn, wet paper and maltiness continue.
-
Overall:
Overall, this is an improvement on other Kings County releases I've had, but it's clear that while great progress is being made, more age is definitely future releases can hopefully harness.
