Kings County Distillery is a distillery and bar with unusual proof on both sides of the ledger: a 4.8 Google rating across 477 reviews and 2,175 all-time Blackbird check-ins. The crowd pattern is clear, too—Saturday and Sunday are its busiest check-in days, matching the review energy around cold-afternoon tours, tastings, and the gatehouse bar.
The strongest through-line in guest reviews is the tour: knowledgeable guides, unhurried pacing, and room for real whiskey questions. Reviewers specifically call out a tour led by John, a tour and tasting led by Esme, the potent whiskey, a castle-like atmosphere, and even working kitties Harold and Maude as part of the charm.
