NY CRAFT COCKTAIL TOUR: New York Distilling Company

Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. NY Craft Cocktail Tour explores the craft cocktail culture of New York from local distilleries to specialty spirit shops to amazing cocktail bars and speakeasies. 

After a visit to Brooklyn Brewery, the next natural step is to walk a few blocks and visit New York Distilling Company. Here they give free tours of their facility, which has been producing different gins, rye, and liqueurs since 2011. It’s a beautiful space and even more exciting is that their bar The Shanty pours some mean cocktails. You can learn more about them and cocktail culture on our Craft Cocktail Tour.
