Kings County Distillery is New York City's oldest, largest, and premier whiskey distillery, the first since prohibition. Founded in 2010, Kings
County was first located in a 325 square-foot room in East Williamsburg and began as the smallest commercial distillery in the country. With five 24-liter stainless steel stills, the distillery was making whiskey seven days a week, 16 hours a day. In 2012, the distillery moved into the Paymaster Building in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard. In this new, larger space, Kings County is able to blend various distilling practices from a variety of cultures into their whiskies including the use of Scottish copper pot stills.
