Van Brunt Stillhouse takes a time-honored traditional approach to distilling. Sourcing wheat, rye, and corn directly from upstate New York, farmers make every spirit from scratch in the Red Hook waterfront. In the pioneering spirit of Cornelius VanBrunt, who was a farmer in the Dutch colony of Breukelen, husband and wife team Daric Schlesselman and Sarah Ludington founded Van Brunt Stillhouse, driven by a love of Craft. The Stillhouse has been producing farmhouse-style whiskeys in the heart of modern-day Brooklyn since 2012. As a master distiller, Daric brings creativity to his recipes while working within the traditions of distilling fine spirits. He has developed a line of spirits that establishes his unique voice within traditional spirit categories and the American Whiskey, which is unlike any other on the market.

You can visit the place for tasting and cocktails or pick up a bottle of whiskey – and they also offer tours.
