Lost Lantern Kings County Distillery Empire Rye Single Cask (126.4 Proof)
126.4 proof NAS Rye Kings County Distillery Brooklyn, NY $? 80% New York-grown rye, 20% malted barley
Nose

Dark and brooding with rich, syrupy sweetness; traditional rye character with darker notes and depth.

Palate

Initial wave of maple-like syrup sweetness followed by firm rye spice punch; rich, complex mid-palate with barrel char, toasted nuts, mint, and dark chocolate throughout.

Finish

Long, spice-forward finish with lingering dark chocolate and char.

Really good
A dark, bold Empire rye with exceptional depth—maple sweetness balanced against firm spice and chocolate—making it an excellent end-of-night sipper.
