Fort Hamilton Distillery was founded in 2015 by noted bartender Alex Clark. Having previously tended bar with Sasha Petraske (Milk & Honey) and at New York restaurant institutions Balthazar and Marea, Alex fell in love with the canon of American Classic cocktails such as Manhattans & Old Fashioneds which demand rye whiskey as a base. He stepped away from the bar in 2011 to become instrumental in the launch and success of the Widow Jane Bourbon Subsequently, Alex decided to follow his passion and revive the long forgotten style of whiskey that America was built on, New York Rye. It takes years to make great whiskey, so years were spent barreling and aging whiskey to perfection using grain sourced from local New York farmers & American Oak barrels. The results are a testament to traditional techniques which produce a rich and round style of whiskey unseen and untasted in New York for over a century. The Fort Hamilton Distillery is located in historic Industry City in Sunset Park Brooklyn.

Industry City is a one-stop destination of experiences, eateries, events and everything in between. An historic intermodal city, IC is comprised of 16 buildings, built on 35 acres of repurposed industrial space. The waterfront green spaces, immersive retail, and public art installations make for an entire day of discovery. The diverse mix of culture and locally born businesses is as authentic a New York experience as it gets. No visit to Industry City is ever the same.
