Great Jones Distilling Co. - which cleared bureaucratic hurdles in 2021 to open the first whiskey distillery on the island since Prohibition - has operated a 28,000 square-foot space at 686 Broadway that included a restaurant, retail store, speakeasy, tasting rooms and tours, according to its website.
“After 5 incredible years, Great Jones Distilling Co. Visitor Center is closed until further notice,” the website states. Great Jones is owned by Proximo Spirits, the Jersey City, NJ-based maker of Jose Cuervo. Neither Great Jones nor Proximo responded to requests for comment.
The alcohol “industry is going through a major reset,” said Michael Correra, executive director of the Metro Package Store Association, a trade group representing wine and liquor stores in the New York Metro area. “The business is imploding and I think you’ll see liquor stores close as well because fewer people are drinking.”
That's true. These yungun's - millenials and GenZ'ers and their ilk - would rather do Special K and all kinds other new designer drugs, not like us. We made our bones on Pagan Pink Ripple, Maddog 2020 and Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill, with an ocassional blast of Everclear just to kick it up a notch. Our weed had sticks and seeds in it, ferfucksake. Will DUI's be a thing of the past? Not if any of us Boomers have anything to say about it. Juss' sayin'...

Let's not forget Annie Green Springs Plum Loco, er Hollow. Nowadays it's Woodford Reserve and Don Julio, but not quite the volume.
