Your tour begins in the historic Paymaster Building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard where we’ll guide you through the full whiskey-making journey, from milling and mashing to fermenting and distilling. Taste our signature moonshine on the distillery floor, then it’s off to our barrel room, where you’ll take in the sights, smells, and secrets of aging whiskey. Tours conclude with a guided tasting featuring four of our signature whiskeys. Duration is approximately 45 minutes.

Thinking of gifting the Brooklyn Distillery Tour, any tips?

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about getting the Brooklyn Distillery Tour for my boyfriend's birthday. He loves whiskey and I think he'd really enjoy seeing how it's made. I heard there’s a tasting of 4 whiskeys at the end, which sounds awesome. Has anyone done it? Any tips on what to wear or how to get there?

Just did the Brooklyn Distillery Tour and loved it!

I went on the Brooklyn Distillery Tour last weekend, and it was such a blast! The history of the distillery is really fascinating, and getting to taste the moonshine on the distillery floor was an experience I won't forget. The barrel room smells amazing! If you’re a whiskey fan or looking for a gift, I highly recommend it.
