Set in an 1899 brick building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Kings County Distillery uses New York grain and traditional equipment to create some mighty smooth craft spirits. Come on a tour for a look at the distilling process from grain to bottle, with a bit of a history thrown in to boot (the 19th-century Whiskey Wars, which erupted in nearby Vinegar Hill, devastated Brooklyn). At the end, you'll get to taste some of the whiskeys.
Kings County Distillery produces bourbon (aged in charred, American oak barrels), moonshine (made of 80% corn, and not nearly as undrinkable as the name might imply) and limited-edition seasonal varieties like pumpkin spice whiskey. Some imbibers also enjoy KCD's chocolate whiskey, infused with cacao bean husks.
