Astoria Distilling Company

A small company committed to building a craft spirits distillery in the borough of Queens.

Our first product is Queens Courage, the “Spirit of Queens”
Queens Courage is a New York “Old Tom” style gin that is lighter than Dutch Genever, more full-bodied than London Dry, and with a subtle sweetness derived from naturally sweet botanicals, malts and honey.
Queens Courage is the result of over a year and a half of research and development, and is formulated to be the ideal base spirit for classic cocktails developed in the 1800’s, when Old Tom gin was the most popular style of gin. Queens Courage’s flavor profile is also ideal for the creation of new cocktails, and the use of premium ingredients and the care with which Queens Courage is distilled makes it smooth enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.
Queens Courage is a product of the Astoria Distilling Company, whose mission is to develop innovative craft spirits that celebrate the diverse culture of Queens, and that are produced from the finest locally-sourced and sustainably-produced ingredients available in New York. We are proud to be a Queens business and strive every day to make Queens proud of us.
