Fort Hamilton Distillery Tour & Tasting

Get ready for an up-close look at how American spirits are made, right in the heart of Brooklyn. This one-hour tour invites you into the world of small-batch whiskey and gin, where copper stills gleam, barrels quietly work their magic, and the aroma of grain fills the air. It is a behind-the-scenes peek into how history, craftsmanship, and creativity come together to produce every bottle. You will see, taste, and even get hands-on with parts of the process.
Along the way, you will explore the artistry behind distilling gin, discover how whiskey matures in oak barrels, and learn what it takes to build a craft distillery from the ground up. The tour wraps with a generous tasting featuring gin, two bourbons, two ryes, and a surprising sweet note—bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup. And for a fun memento, you can fill, cork, and label your own bottle, complete with a custom sticker to commemorate your visit.
Tour Highlights:

Distillery Production Floor: Walk through an active distillery space where copper stills, mash tuns, and barrel racks tell the story of craft spirit making.
Gin Distillation and Whiskey Aging: Learn how botanicals are transformed into bright, aromatic gin, and how time in oak shapes the flavor of rye and bourbon.
Hands-on Bottling: Fill, cork, and label your very own whiskey bottle, finishing it off with a tour sticker that marks the date of your visit.
Guided Tasting: Sample a lineup of spirits that includes gin, two bourbons, two ryes, and bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup.
Exclusive Perks: Enjoy a 15% discount on bottles and merchandise—perfect for taking home a piece of the experience.
