Eddie
Eddie,
Smokey, sharp and peaty. Nice strong flavor.
 
Dermot
Dermot,
Very good. I like the peat taste. This is a nice bourbon.
 
Jeremy
Jeremy,
Very peaty and easy to drink. Not usually a fan of tons of smoke but this one is unique and excellent.
 
Alex
Alex,
It’s a surprise to be sure. This is definitely a particular profile. If you’re into the peated scotches, this one’s for you. It’s smooth all around & slightly bitter. The peat & smoke compliments the hard edge of your traditional bourbon in an unconventional whisky.
 
Paul
Paul,
Complex and unique. Bitterness and spices are definitely present. Enjoyable if you appreciate something unique. Would be a good one for a tasting that you wanted to throw in something different.
 
Adam
Adam,
Very peaty and very smoky. Just not my bag.
 
Marco
Marco,
Great fusion. Definitely peaty but finishes like a bourbon.
 
Lindsey
Lindsey,
Leather and herbs on the nose. Very peaty flavor at first, but lingers nicely as smoky. Liked more than I expected.
 
Austin
Austin,
I'm not a fan of scotch or peat but this is a wonderful fusion of everything good about scotch in a very smooth whiskey. Aroma is strong enough to remind you it's peat, but smooth enough to reassure you of how drinkable it is.
 
Vicente
Vicente,
Flavor was smooth and smokey. I enjoyed this very much.
 
Jarod
Jarod,
One of the most aromatic boubons I've tried. The favour is a little rough but spicey with a hint of sweetness. I can't really explain why I like it as much as I do. Sum of its parts, I guess.
 
Robert
Robert,
I'm an inexperienced taster, so I lack the jargon to explain how delightful this is. The flavors play long and slow over the palate, linger in a pleasant way. A nice full spectrum of flavors from light to earthy. Very nice.
 
Robert
Robert,
Disappointed with this one. Love peaty scotch and love bourbon, was hoping this would be a good marriage between the two. For something described as peaty, I got little in the way of peat taste or smell. My wife described it as the taste you get when licking an envelope. Wanted to love it, but likely not something I would buy again.
 
Steven
Steven,
Although my wife doesn’t appreciate the peat, I really enjoyed it. Peat and leather on the nose, with a delicate saltiness on the finish. I’ll likely buy another bottle for my (private) stash.
 
Antti
Antti,
It is a very good, intense, Bourbon Whiskey that has an aromatic birth; while a bitter sweet life leads to a thick & oily death with hints of salt & spice.
 
Matt
Matt,
Smooth smoky flavor with an easy finish. Definitely a different taste from traditional bourbons but it’s worth having for special times with friends.
 
Julia
Julia,
Simple but nice
 
Patrick
Patrick,
I don't understand the hype with this bourbon. It was a bit harsh and the peat just didn't make a difference to me.
 
Richard
Richard,
Very sweet, mildly peaty, and reliably pleasant to sip.
 
Robin
Robin,
I only get a hint of the peaty flavor midway through. Sharp start and burns all the way through. It’s aggressive. Not bad but not amazing
 
Michael
Michael,
Others might like it, but I just didn’t care for it. Especially at the price. Just not top shelf.
 
Jeremy
Jeremy,
Great flavor, sweet and smokey the way I like it.
 
Luis
Luis,
It’s Old Brooklyn in a bottle - honest, rough, and not for the weak of heart. The subtle notes of caramel are secondary to the pure fire of the grain. I’d get it again... but it’s not going to be everyone’s cuppa.
 
Michael
Michael,
Went to the distillery today...chose this one to buy and I do not regret it...so delicious and unique

Tim,
Very smooth great taste. Definitely heavy on the Carmel. Taste great over ice
 
Warren
Warren,
After my first taste, I knew this was not for me. It's very brash with a bitter finish. The bottle is totes adorbs, that's about the only positive I can say. I will save the 99% that's left in the bottle so that when my enemies come over, I have something to serve them.
 
Michael
Michael,
Thought it tasted fine ,,,,didn't see the fine print ...only came as a 375... and took over 5 weeks to recieve ....feeling like ive been scnooker

Very rough with strong after taste.

John,
I bought this, tasted it and poured it out. Not my style. Great bottle for my other stuff.

100% smokey, hints of sweet, bold on the front end, not much on finish

Deep and smoky with minimal bite

Michael
Michael,
The caramel and the smoke mix together well. This is definitely worth a bottle.
 
RAHSHEEN
RAHSHEEN,
Just really good bourbon whiskey with a hint of peat. Great color and a sweet taste that getting you coming back for more. Don’t let it sit too long at room temp it will cloud up on you.

Shoji,
It’s okay. Had on tour
 
Robert

Nice,smooth, tasteful really taste the Carmel
 
Michelle
Michelle,
Very nice. Loved the taste of this bourbon.
 
Brian
Brian,
Peat in the nose is very strong. Fantastic attribute for its name. Taste, like many have stated, is a well stated bourbon with a fantastic touch of peat.
 
Paul
Paul,
I absolute love this bourbon. Being a huge fan of heavily peated scotch whisky, I found this to be right up my alley. This is certainly not heavily peated by any means, but a great example of how a little peat can go a very long way to adding character to what I'm guessing is an already exceptional bourbon. I'll be trying to get my hands on a full bottle and some other expressions from Kings County. Bravo!
