New York Distilling Company

Makers of Jaywalk Rye, Dorothy Parker Gin & more. Proudly distilling in Bushwick, Brooklyn. See you at the Shanty!

The dream and challenge of creating a functioning distillery in urban New York is nothing new. The earliest distilleries in Brooklyn, for example, date back to the 1700′s. During Prohibition, there were supposedly over 50,000 illicit stills in New York City (a one-gallon still costing $6 dollars at most local hardware stores) to quench the citizens’ thirst as much as the h***h that was smuggled ac

10 years ago today we put whiskey in barrels for the first time. We didn’t know what the name would be, how it would taste, or how long it would take to age. We’re proud to be where we are 10 years later sipping whiskey and thinking of bringing back mutton chops for the new roaring 20s.

12/10/2021

We invited to select a 10th anniversary barrel from our stock. Dale chose barrel 742 to commemorate our first decade and we are excited to share it! From Dale…‘It is remarkable how whiskey made with the same ingredients can age so differently from barrel to barrel. This 6 and-a-half-year-old barrel selection of Ragtime Rye has a lovely balance of fruit and spice; put that balance to work in a Perfect Manhattan.’

He’s also chosen to give a portion of proceeds from each bottle sold to the Helen David Relief Fund () assisting bar industry professionals who are battling cancer. The fund was started by Tony Abou Ganim () in honor of his aunt.

Join in Tuesday, December 14th at 3pm EST // 12pm PST to learn more about the fund, whiskey, and hospitality.

At long last, Dorothy Parker was laid to rest in a fitting manner at Woodlawn Cemetery. Thanks to the tireless work by Kevin Fitzpatrick of the Dorothy Parker Society for leading the charge and including us along the journey and to all our gin drinking fans out there for partially funding this endeavor. ⁠

Pictured here is our Co-Founder Tom Potter paying tribute to Dorothy Parker with roses and her namesakes Rose Gin. Located in a family plot, her headstone features the final stanza of her 1925 poem “Epitaph for a Darling Lady”:⁠

Leave for her a red young rose,⁠

Go your way, and save your pity;⁠

She is happy, for she knows⁠

That her dust is very pretty.

Want to do good just by drinking a Manhattan? Will Guidara, chose a Single Barrel of Ragtime Rye to do just that. Benefitting World Central Kitchen this barrel makes a fantastic Manhattan, not coincidentally, one of Will's favorite drink.

Then sit back, sip, and know with your contribution World Central Kitchen will continue to help those in need, currently those in harm's way of an active Hurricane Season in the Gulf and the wildfires out West.⁠

With New York's apple season officially kicking off yesterday, it's a great time to pick up our Applejack Barrel finished Ragtime Rye. We take used Applejack barrels from and age our Ragtime Rye for a minimum of 90 days to impart some of the robust flavors. ⁠

The result is a well rounded Rye with less of the traditional rye spice and a sweetness more similar to Bourbon. Put more simply, it's New York Fall in a bottle. At 100 Proof, it's delicious on its own or superb in a cocktail. ⁠

Acclaimed restaurateur and hospitality advocate Will Guidara has chosen a Single Barrel Selection in support of World Central Kitchen available for purchase today. We are ecstatic to partner with Will on this and benefit World Central Kitchen who stay true to their motto, ‘wherever there is a fight so that hungry people may eat, we will be there.’ Recently WCK has partnered with chefs in response to natural and manmade disasters including those in California, Beirut, and Puerto Rico. Only 150 bottles have been produced, each enumerated and signed by Will Guidara. Join us to support World Central Kitchen with this limited edition, Cask Strength Rye Whiskey through the link in our bio. Tasting below.

The initial surprise, near shock, of bright summer fruits - strawberry and red raspberry - are stressed on the entry notes of this one-of-a-kind single barrel rye. The classic Ragtime Rye hallmark, ripe peach skin, is ever present on the nose and eases into lovely, balanced flavors of vanilla, caramel, dusted cardamom, and lavender - creme caramel at the ready! At cask strength (and 75% rye) there is a gentle pulsing spice throughout that leads to a long, soft sage finish that lingers and lingers like a Vicente Fernandez ballad.

A portion of proceeds will go to World Central Kitchen.

Today, we are releasing an exclusive Single Barrel Selection by Chef Tom Colicchio now shipping nationwide, benefiting whiskey lovers and restaurant workers alike. Bottled at Cask Strength, 112 Proof. Only 150 bottles produced. Each enumerated, and each signed by Tom Colicchio. Tom and Allen will host a live tasting session and discussion of the Independent Restaurant Coalition on Instagram Live next Thursday. Pick up a bottle via the links below.

An aroma of ripe peach that stuns you into near submission! An accompaniment of star fruit and gentle to***co offer an easy counterpoint. At first sip a playful chew of bubble gum and Good & Plenty in near unison, followed by black raisin, black cherry, more licorice and leather. At 75% rye, spice asserts all around the lips like the seasoning of a summer crawfish boil, with the same lingering delight.

A portion of the proceeds go to the Independent Restaurant Coalition.

Very excited to release our Single Barrel selection with George Motz. George hand picked Barrel No. 476 after much deliberation, a four-and-half year old whiskey, for its specific attributes to pair with a great smoked or grilled burger. At 100 Proof there is an immediate rush of tropical flavor - banana flambé, butter caramel and a hint of honey. The complexity that follows - a variety of white pepper and meditative smoke - and the slow, deep, and rewarding burn that lingers, makes for an incredibly long finish.

The bottle is now available for pre-sale, link below, for shipping NY State and BK pickup. Be sure to get your order in by midnight tonight to so you can join us for an Instagram Live this Thursday, June 25 (Bourdain Day) from 5-6pm with George and Allen Katz for an Instagram Live event, produced by Food Film Fest and benefiting Bronx Letters Foundation, the non-profit organization Anthony Bourdain supported for over a decade. George will make a bunch of regional hamburgers and Allen will make specialty cocktails with this single barrel. Head to georgemotz.com for more details and info.
