Kings County Chocolate Flavored Whiskey is made with an infusion of real cocoa beans. Is that what whiskey was missing all along?

Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Unsurprisingly, the appearance is a chocolaty brown with a cloudy, rusty consistency
Nose:
The nose is surprisingly intense, almost overpowering – you cannot miss the smell of dark chocolate. Sweet with notes of cherry and chocolate-covered raisins, the smell lingers in the glass for a while after finishing.
Palate:
This is a whiskey that actually tastes like chocolate. It balances the bitterness of the chocolate with sweetness from the moonshine, ending with a flavor not unlike a cherry cordial. Finish: There is not a lot of body behind the whiskey after the first explosion of flavor, but spiciness from the alcohol peeks through on the finish. Final Thoughts The partnership with Mast Brothers Chocolate has resulted in a whiskey greater than the sum of its parts. What might otherwise be a clear marketing ploy turned into an interesting and bold new take on whiskey. It’s still novelty, but a novelty that’s worth drinking and sharing. Score
Finish:
