From Architizer:
The oldest operating whiskey distillery in New York City also happens to be the smallest commercial distillery in the country: Founded less than five years ago, Colin Spoelman and David Haskell spent their nights and weekends in a 325-square-foot room in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, making whiskey in five 24-liter stainless steel stills. Over the course of two years, the partners — an architect and editor, respectively, by day — outgrew the space and by 2012 Kings County Distillery moved to the 115-year-old Paymaster Building in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard, where they have since been distilling moonshine and bourbon.
