St. Patrick's Day Tour
Tuesday, Mar 17th at 7pm
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Kings County Distillery! In honor of the holiday, we’ll be offering a special tour of the distillery that celebrates Irish whiskey and Irish-American culture.
The story begins in the 6th century in Ireland and then crosses the Atlantic to the United States to explore how Irish whiskey and distillation evolved throughout its sometimes violent history to grow into the American distilling tradition that gave us bourbon and rye, with a special focus on our own rich history here in New York City.
The tour concludes with a special flight of Kings County Distillery’s Poitín, “Irish Style” American Whiskey, American Single Malt, Empire Rye, and Barrel Strength Empire Rye.
