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!

Flight of fancy! The gin was admirably laden w/ cucumber & anise, & all the two bourbons & two ryes were respectably spicy w/ subtly different notes of fruit. I'd already ruined my palate w/ Lambrusco downstairs after tasting delicate sake, so I had to take the stairs up here. Forgot to mention that the maple syrup is super rich!

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.

Fort Hamilton, nestled within the vibrant Industry City complex, is a stylish and inviting bar. The space boasts comfortable furniture and a cool ambiance, making it perfect for relaxing with friends or enjoying a lively group gathering. The drinks menu is impressive, offering a variety of tasty cocktails and craft beers. Located on the second floor of one of Industry City's seven buildings, it's a bit hidden away, adding to its unique charm. Highly recommended for a fun night out in Brooklyn.

A fantastic tour at Fort Hamilton Distillery! Along with tasting their exceptional whiskey, bourbon, and gin, we were fascinated by the rich history of distilling in New York. The highlight was bottling our own spirit, which we had the option to purchase as a unique keepsake. Mike, our guide, was outstanding—welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the experience both educational and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour for both locals and visitors!

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.
