    In the 19th century, Marines were dispatched from the Navy Yard to crack down on illegal whiskey distilling in what became known as “the Whiskey Wars.” Today, Kings County Distillery is proudly making moonshine and more on premises. Join BLDG 92 and Kings County Distillery on a tour (and tasting!) that explores whiskey scandals of the past and the industry’s recent resurgence.
