Kings County Ships One Millionth Bottle
Brooklyn’s Kings County Distillery, the company that brought distilling back to the Five Boroughs of New York, has achieved the milestone of selling one million bottles of liquor. To immortalize the moment, the symbolic Millionth Bottle will be permanently installed in the Distillery’s Boozeum, joining the other artifacts of New York City’s distilling history.
“Kings County started selling in small 200ml and 375ml bottles, which connected the brand to a wide audience with a small production,” said co-founder and distiller Colin Spoelman. “Kings County has always produced whiskey under its own name from New York grain, mashing, distilling, and aging in house—a rarity for whiskey brands including some that purport to be local. To hit one million bottles is more than a sales figure; it’s a mandate from a new generation of drinkers who demand creativity and excellence over industrial products cloaked in legacy marketing.
The Millionth Milestone Edition
To celebrate and commemorate the moment, and as an offering to friends and fans who built the brand, Kings County is pulling the first 500 bottles from the millionth bottle run of its most popular label, for a Commemorative Limited Edition Straight Bourbon. This hand-numbered release, carrying a 4-year age statement, represents the everyday excellence of the distillery’s mashing, distilling, and aging.
The In-Person Launch: A limited physical allocation will drop at the historic Gatehouse tasting room on March 27th, at 7PM EST.
This will be followed by an online Release available Monday, March 30th at 2pm EST at kingscountydistillery.com
An Invitation to the Kings County Inner Circle
The Distillery will open its doors for an exclusive celebration at The Gatehouse (7:00 PM – 9:00 PM). While the event is primarily for the friends, family, bar, restaurant, and retail accounts who fueled this decade-long journey, a limited number of public tickets have been released via the website for those wishing to toast to a million more. Kings County will also announce a significant new program at the event and attendees will be the first to learn of the project. Event partners include Vita Coco, Just Ice Tea and IQBar.
