This two-and-a-half-hour tour starts at Green-Wood's Gothic Arch, where a trolley carries you to the graves of Revolutionary War figures and Brooklyn distillers. It ends down the hill at Fort Hamilton Distillery in Industry City with white rye straight off the still, barrel samples, four whiskey tastings and barrel-aged maple syrup. If you like your history with a glass in hand, this is a clever Brooklyn afternoon.
