Kings County Distillery

We had an amazing time on the Top Shelf Tour at Kings County Distillery with our fantastic guide Brendan! His storytelling brought the history of bourbon in America to life, and he explained the distillation and aging process in a way that was both engaging and educational. The tastings at the end were a real highlight — every sample was unique and delicious. We also loved meeting the two resident cats, who clearly take their job of supervising the distillery very seriously! To top it off, we couldn't resist picking up a few souvenirs — a great t-shirt, a poster, and we were even gifted some beautiful tasting glasses. A perfect memento of a memorable visit. Highly recommended for anyone curious about craft spirits, history, or just looking for a great time in Brooklyn. Cheers!

Had the best experience visiting Kings County yesterday! We met at the bar and then follow Brenden as he led us through the Navy Yard, the distillery, and a wonderful tasting. The whole place was so beautiful and such an escape from the city as it feels like you’re stepping into a rugged distillery from the early 1900s. Brenden was our tour guide and absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and eager to share his passion with us! Thank you!!

The Best Whiskey Tour Ever! Hannah was a phenomenal tour guide and everything they served was really amazing. The gatehouses (their bar) have really good prices on flights of their spirits and I hear the cocktails are good as well. Probably the best value distillery tour too.

The cocktails at The Gatehouse were fantastic but the Top Shelf Tour with Brendan was the real highlight! He was informative, engaging, and hilarious, turning the history of the distillery and their process into a genuinely enjoyable experience. Couldn't have asked for a better time! Highly recommend. 🥃

Such a killer spot. Excellent bourbon and excellent tour - and that’s coming from a bourbon snob from TN. Brendan was a very fun and knowledgeable tour guide. Erica and Naomi at the bar were so fun to talk to and the cocktails were excellent! Definitely worth a visit!!

Did the Top Shelf Tour with my brother for his birthday and it was amazing! Our guide Brendan was awesome! He is very knowledgeable about whiskey and made the tour very laid back and fun. We were the only attendees that day which made the experience even more special. We learned a lot and tried many amazing whiskeys made at Kings County Distillery. I would do it again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend 👍

Had a tour with Brendan. He was so knowledgeable and it was a great peak into not just this particular distillery, but the history of moonshine and bourbon making in the US and Brooklyn. Highly recommend!

We took a distillery tasting trip and had the absolute best time with Brendan! He was such a great tour/whiskey guide and we learned so much. Highly recommend doing a tasting or a tour!
