From the New York Times:
By Robert Simonson, July 29, 2021
In late August, when the Great Jones Distilling Company opens its doors, Manhattan will have its first legal whiskey distillery since the advent of Prohibition in 1920...
..Great Jones is the dream of Juan Domingo Beckmann, an 11th-generation spirits maker and chief executive who is the founder of Proximo Spirits, a liquor company based in Jersey City, N.J., that owns the new distillery, and whose family owns and operates the tequila giant Jose Cuervo.
“Up until this point, most great American cities have a major distillery to call home, with one notable exception — Manhattan,” said Mr. Beckmann (though a vodka distillery, Our/New York, did open in Chelsea in 2018). In the past 20 years, interest in and sales of American whiskey have skyrocketed, and new craft distilleries have opened coast to coast. “New York is my second home and I’ve always been in love with the culinary scene,” he said. “I wanted to create a whiskey that celebrates the best of New York state agriculture.”
