Their most popular creations at King’s Family Distillery include:
American Blended Whiskey
Winner of the 2019 Barleycorn Awards, their American Blended Whiskey has a robust flavor profile that you’ll adore. Their sweet whiskey base sings out the flavors of caramel, vanilla, honey, nutmeg, and so much more. You can even taste hints of pear and locust wood in every sip. They create its balanced profile by mixing light whiskey and bourbon that has been aged for at least two years.
Ginger Vodka
Ginger root is forever front and center of the flavor profile hailed by their Ginger Vodka. They create this variety by distilling corn vodka six times before infusing it with fresh ginger and a little bit of cane sugar. Underneath the spice, you can sense the presence of stone fruit, lavender, and apple blossoms that help take the experience up a notch. Thanks to its exquisite flavors, it also won Gold at the 2019 Barleycorn Awards.
Bourbon
Although it doesn’t have any extra flavors to speak of, their triple award-winning Bourbon is anything but plain. To make it the best of the best, they start with a high corn mash bill that ages perfectly to create a smokey, vanilla-y profile. Figs, dates, and raisin flavors dance in the undertones to create the perfect combination that tastes great on its own or in cocktails galore.
If you’re not sure what to get, just ask for samples of their top varieties. They allow you to pick what you want to sample and provide a little more than a taste of each one. Within a few sips, it’ll be much easier to settle on your favorites.
