Kings County Distillery

Kings County Distillery is New York City’s oldest operating whiskey distillery, the first since prohibition. Founded in 2010, Kings County makes handmade moonshine and bourbon out of the 118-year-old Paymaster Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The distillery uses New York grain and traditional distilling equipment to make distinctive whiskey. Our whiskeys have won numerous best-in-category, gold, and double-gold medals and was named Distillery of the Year in 2016 by the American Distilling Institute.
