On October 7th, I attended the Brooklyn Whiskey Festival which was held in the Brooklyn Navy Yard at 141 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn.

It was a consumer event with an afternoon and an evening session, I attended the evening session.

It was mostly Whiskey from the United States but there were a few from Ireland and India as well as some vodka, gin and tequila.

As far as whiskey events go, this event wasn’t very comprehensive in the selection that was available. Many of the well-known whiskey producers that usually go to these events were not on hand, I’m not sure if they were around during the afternoon session or just didn’t attend.

I had some nice whiskey from Yellowstone, Remus, Boondocks and Hudson Whiskey. Barrel Smith poured a trio of premixed cocktails, Manhattan, Boulevardier and Negroni. Mendel poured a vodka made from garden peas.
