We will walk you through the science and skill behind mashing, fermentation, and pot distillation, and give a behind-the-scenes look at how Kings County Distillery became NYC’s oldest distillery since Prohibition. Next, step into our barrel room and breathe in the angel’s share as you uncover how oak transforms clear spirit into rich, flavorful whiskey. Wrap it all up with a guided tasting featuring four of our signature whiskeys, including one of our harder-to-find gems.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the distillery tour? Can I bring my younger sibling?

A: Yes, there is an age limit. You have to be 21 or older to participate in the tasting portion of the tour. However, anyone under 21 can still join the tour, they just won't be able to sample the spirits. It's a great educational experience regardless, so bringing your sibling could still be fun!

Q: How hard is it to get to Kings County Distillery? Is parking available?

A: Getting to Kings County Distillery is pretty easy if you're taking public transport. The nearest subway station is the L train at Bedford Ave, which is about a 10-minute walk. For parking, street parking can be tough in that area, but there are some paid lots nearby. Arrive early if you plan to drive!

Q: What should I wear for the distillery tour? Is it casual?

A: Casual is definitely the way to go! You’ll be walking around the distillery, so comfortable shoes are a must. Just keep in mind that the barrel room can be a bit cooler, so maybe bring a light jacket. No need to dress up, just come ready to enjoy!

Just wrapped up the Kings County Distillery tour - so worth it!

I went last weekend and had an absolute blast! The history they shared was fascinating, and the whiskey tasting was amazing. We got to try four different whiskeys, and the 'harder-to-find gem' they included was definitely a highlight. The whole thing lasted around 75 minutes, which was perfect for a quick outing. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys spirits or wants to learn more about the distilling process!

Considering the distillery tour as a gift - any tips?

I’m thinking about gifting the Kings County Distillery tour to my dad! He loves whiskey and I think he’d really enjoy the behind-the-scenes look. But I’m not sure if it’s the right experience for him since he’s over 60. Do you think it would be engaging enough for him?
