I visited Fort Hamilton Distillery for a Galentines date with my best friend and we had a great time. The tour guide was knowledgeable and walked us through the entire process of making whiskey. The best part of the tour was when we were able to package our own bottle of whiskey and had the chance to purchase it. The tasting was fun and we even had the chance to sample maple syrup which was also available for purchase. Definitely recommend visiting Fort Hamilton if you love whiskey or just want to learn about the history of whiskey making.

My visit to Fort Hamilton Distillery & Tasting Room was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the tone for an exceptional experience. The service was impeccable—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The highlight of my visit was the tasting experience. Our guide, a delightful woman from New Zealand, shared the fascinating history of the distillery and its craft. Her accent made the storytelling even more captivating, and I walked away with a newfound appreciation for rye whiskey, bourbon, and gin. The interactive aspect of the tasting was a standout feature. At the end, they offered the chance to fill your own bottle—a unique and memorable touch! I couldn’t resist and ended up bottling a single-barrel rye whiskey and purchasing a double-barrel bourbon to take home. Overall, Fort Hamilton Distillery offers a perfect mix of education, entertainment, and amazing spirits. Whether you’re a whiskey connoisseur or just curious about craft distilling, this is a must-visit spot. Highly recommend!

Love it. Great site and location, great space for distilling while tasting, and wonderful staff. There's quiet, billiards, couches, bar, totally visible space "where the magic" happens - even though only gin is made on site for now. The owners were amazing, friendly, and willing to really talk about their process. As for the spirits, I'm not a gin drinker but their's is one of the best I've had. The whole whiskey line has something for everyone - even an old collector like me! - I suggest trying their seasonal offerings, especially if they have any of the 1 year finished Madeira cask left.

Great tour. Very informative. We all laughed and learned a lot. Great experience. Recommend for a birthday experience. If you book a private tour, the birthday person gets to bottle their own whiskey to take home. Super cool.

An awesome day at Fort Hamilton Distillery. The information of the product from our tour guide was concise, informative, and the flight tasting of the products were great! Love the location at industry city.

We went on the tasting tour with Evan. It was awesome, full of historical and local facts about distilling in new York. He was knowledgeable and humored all our many questions. The tasting was fun and the whiskey delicious. Take the tour. It's worth the hour and more than worth the $30/person. You have the option to but the whiskey you bottle yourself during the tour as well which was a nice souvenir.
