Curls of smoke blanket a glass filled with bourbon whiskey and ice inside a 28,000-square-foot whiskey distillery in the trendy NoHo neighborhood in lower Manhattan.

Great Jones Distilling Co. is the New York City borough's first and only whiskey distillery since Prohibition, which ended a little over 100 years ago.

"In order to understand what distilling is in New York City, you have to understand the zoning that it takes to be a distillery," said Great Jones Distilling Co.'s project manager Andrew Merinoff, 31. "After a year and a half of searching, we finally landed at 686 Broadway.""The room that this still is encased in is completely explosion proof," said Merinoff.

I’ll bet some swanky 1% types will be happy to rent out the speakeasy for $20K a night.
