About
Kings County Distillery is New York City's oldest, largest, and premier whiskey distillery, the first since prohibition. Founded in 2010, it makes handmade bourbon, rye, and other whiskeys out of the 123-year-old Paymaster Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It offers distillery tours, a tasting room at the Gatehouses for flights, pours, and cocktails, and limited edition releases like the Millionth Edition Straight Bourbon.
