"On summer Fridays and Saturdays, in the pleasant garden of the Kings County Distillery, one can enjoy a mint julep or a John Collins (apologies to Tom—it has bourbon in lieu of gin)." Read more
I absolutely can recommend the guided tour at KCD. Our guide was amazing and had many interesting facts to share. The tasting was a highlight, you really could taste why this whiskey is special.
Worth checking out! The one hour tour was informative and fun, with tasting of all their offerings at the end. Their bar across the street is very cool, stop-in for a unique whiskey-cocktail.
Super interesting even for non-whiskey drinkers. The chocolate bourbon is a must! The cocktail bar serves up some wonderful experimental cocktails. I had a grapefruit-jalapeño margarita. Excellent!
This place is fantastic! We took a tour lead by the tour director and she was amazing. Highly, highly recommend the tasting as well. Chocolate or GrapefruitJalapeñoBourbon was surprisingly good!
Take the tour and tasting. Their peated bourbon is incredible. If you want something unusual, go for the chocolate bourbon. Unusual - but in a really good way.
Passionate and knowledgeable people behind this whiskey. Cool building, great tour, and amazing cocktails at the bar. Highly recommend a tour followed by cocktails.
$14 for tour, ~90 min total - quick history of American whisky, then exploring actual distillery and get to sample some!!!! Plus they have a public tasting room - their straight bourbon is perfection
Ambiance! Loved the plants, wooden table tops, spiral stone staircase, old beams. Intimate date spots abound inside (cozy up in a turret!). The John Collins was delicious. Try the chocolate bourbon!
Great environment. Tour was enlightening and detailed with varying mini Flights depending on guide. Tasting room is unique but would like more guidance for first timers that are new to the brand.
Really wonderful place! For $8 you get a tour and can sample their moonshine, bourbon and chocolate bourbon. During the summer they also have tastings and food in the back yard!
This place is just the best. So chill. As of Summer 2015 - You can go on Friday's and Saturday's and drink the whiskey made here at the picnic tables outside + food is available.
Great for an afternoon into eveing. Mixed drinks are not very strong but go down easy so you can spend a lot of money here. This is a very fun hangout on a beautiful day. Not many food offerings.
This place is in a weird location so it feels secret. The room is beautiful in a dark, rustic way and the cocktails are nice. They do whisky flights too.
