Stillhouse American Whiskey. Enough said.
The Basics:
Local distilling made from wheat, rye and corn sourced from upstate NY farmers.
What's the Deal?
This Red Hook Distillery started off with the Due Nortth Rum (made from unprocessed cane sugar) and today they make Grappa, malt whiskey, moonshine + rye bourbon. But the distiller's passion (and our favorite) is their Van Brunt American Whiskey. You can pop by their tasting room to see what they're up to since, as a craft distiller, products are being made in small batches.
You can get to the Van Brunt Stillhouse from the F, G at the Smith/ 9th St. station (a 30m walk) or with the New York Water Taxi's Red Hook Dock. They're open Thu/Fri 4-9pm + Sat 2-9pm/Sun 2-6pm. tours must be booked in advance.
