Kings County Distillery isn’t just a standout, it’s New York City’s original craft distillery and one of the most acclaimed in the country. Founded in 2010 in a tiny Williamsburg kitchen, it set the stage for a new era of whiskey in the city.

What began with makeshift stills and a rebellious spirit has evolved into one of the most respected names in American whiskey. Crafted from organic New York-grown corn, rye, and malted barley, every bottle is distilled in Scottish copper pot stills and aged in small, medium, or large barrels, right in the heart of Brooklyn.

Praised by The New York Times, Whisky Advocate and Forbes, Kings County Distillery has earned top honors including Best Craft Distillery Whiskey from the American Craft Spirits Association, Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Distillery of the Year by both the American Distilling Institute and the New Orleans Spirits Competition. Recognized as “One of the Best Distilleries in America” by Forbes, Kings County Distillery didn’t just rewrite the rules of craft whiskey, they set a new standard.
