Fort Hamilton Distillery is a Brooklyn, New York-based craft distillery specializing in premium spirits with a strong Revolutionary War heritage. Named after the historic Fort Hamilton Army Base (itself named for Alexander Hamilton), the distillery began barreling whiskey in 2016 and celebrates New York Rye—the most popular American whiskey style pre-prohibition. They honor authentic New York Rye traditions by using zero corn in their mash bills and avoiding all colorings, flavorings, or adulterants. Located in Industry City at Industry City, 68 34th Street, 2nd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11232, the distillery produces award-winning bourbons, vodkas, and gins, with their gin uniquely distilled using watermelon to honor the Battle of Brooklyn.
