Dapper dress welcome. \u00a0 \u00a0 About Pitorro – Port Morris Distillery in the Bronx The Legacy of our Distillery began in the lush mountains of Guayama, Puerto Rico.\u00a0 From these humble roots we are proud to offer the finest distilled spirits lovingly crafted to perfection in The Bronx by our Master Distiller. www.portmorrisdistillery.com \u00a0 About Kings Country DIstillery Kings County Distillery is New York City\u2019s oldest operating whiskey distillery,\u00a0 the first since prohibition. Founded in\u00a02010, Kings County makes handmade moonshine, bourbon, and other whiskeys out of the 117 year-old Paymaster\u00a0Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. \u00a0We use New York grain and traditional distilling equipment to make distinctive spirits.\u00a0\u00a0Our whiskeys have won numerous awards from the American Distilling Institute, the American Craft Spirits\u00a0Association, and have been praised by the\u00a0New York Times, Wine & Spirits Magazine, GQ, The New Yorker\u00a0and other sources.\u00a0\u00a0We only distill whiskey for our label and we never buy bulk whiskey from any other source. First located in a 325 square-foot room in East Williamsburg, Kings County began as the smallest commercial distillery in the country, with five 24-liter stainless steel stills making whiskey seven days a week, 16 hours a day. \u00a0In 2012, we moved into the Paymaster Building in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard, just steps from legendary site of the Brooklyn Whiskey Wars of the 1860s and the former distillery district of the waterfront. \u00a0With traditional copper\u00a0whiskey stills fabricated in Scotland, wooden fermenters were built locally by Isseks Brothers, and a corn and barley patch at a small farm onsite, the distillery is a model of sustainable and traditional whiskey production and\u00a0one of the preeminent craft distilleries in the United States. \u00a0We offer tours and tastings every Saturday.\u00a0 http:\/\/kingscountydistillery.com \u00a0 About Kentucky Mist Moonshine Kentucky Mist Moonshine is a craft distillery located in the Appalachian Mountains. Born from a deep heritage of distilling spirits in eastern Kentucky, Kentucky Mist takes pride in distilling every drop of alcohol used in our products, and making flavored moonshine using whole fruit for the most genuine taste. This distillery in Whitesburg, KY makes vodkalike moonshine, or unaged spirit, and flavors it naturally with local berries and fruit. They call it Kentucky Mist Moonshine. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 www.kentuckymist.com \u00a0 \u00a0 About Standard Spirit Distillery in Brooklyn Distilled from a high rye thin mash with local NY rye and corn in small batches at our Brooklyn distillery. Fermenting on the grain and then distilling with fresh grains suspended in the column make for a unique buttery corn and spicy rye taste that distinguishes our moonshine to rival any whiskey. Bottling only a very selective Heart Cut portion brings you face-to-face with the complex grain flavor, broad body, and smooth taste. No swill! Drink it straight or in a classic cocktail and come to know where great whiskey comes from, the finest moonshine. Absinthe Our distillery is founded on experimenting with wormwood spirits. When we started home distilling in bushwick, wormwood was an illusive banned ingredient, best known for its use in traditional absinthe. On our first distillation we fell in love with more than the myth, the subtle lucid wakeful feel was unlike any other spirit. Unknown to us at the time, absinthe with wormwood was nearing the end of a century old ban. Over a decade of refining our home distilling methods we are releasing a one-of-a-kind wormwood spirit that departs from traditional absinthe, our Oak & Rye Wormwood \u2013 a wormwood rye. Made from fermenting a rye and corn thin mash on the grain, single distilling with a wormwood backset through our copper \u2018grain in column\u2019 still, and finally stave aging with American and French oak. You end up with a familiar but new taste for what a rye and a wormwood spirit can be. Steering away from traditional herbal absinthe, we\u2019ve dropped the added sugar, anise, licorice, and other herbs \u2013 just keeping the wormwood, so you get the feel of an absinthe with the taste of rye.\u00a0\u00a0 www.standardspirit.com \u00a0 \u00a0 About Barrow's Intense Have you noticed every brand these days has a story?

We are part of the ARTISAN DISTILLERY MOVEMENT. Our products are smooth, hand crafted , hand bottled , nurtured into existence, selective and above all exclusive. "Skillfully crafted by those who care." \u00a0www.tiradorum.com \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 About Gristmill Distillers We are located in the heart of the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. Keene, New York is where we call home, but you can find our spirits all over. Combining our love of the mountains and our love of good whiskey made perfect sense when setting out to create spirits of our own. A few distillery tours almost two years ago had us saying, \u201cHey, we could do this.\u201d Maybe it was the bourbon talking, but it sounded like a good idea at the time, and we ran with it. Upstate New York has a rich agricultural heritage, so it was only fitting to bring a farm-to-bottle operation to Keene. We strive for quality, working to make smooth, classic spirits that can be sipped straight\u2014but that are just as good in your favorite mixed libation with a dash of this and a garnish of that. We source locally, we mash locally, and we distill locally. It takes some time and elbow grease to build a distillery, and even more time to craft and age whiskies and brandies that are worthy of a dram or two (or ten.) We\u2019ve committed to the long haul though, and we\u2019re proud to literally start from the ground up. Our water flows straight from a spring within a few paces of our front door, our corn is grown by Adirondack Organic Grains in nearby Essex, and our brandy apples are grown, picked, and pressed fresh by Rulf\u2019s Orchard, less than thirty-five miles down the road in Peru. Our barrels are made to order from U.S. Barrel, the oldest cooperage in the northeast and, luckily for us, only a couple of towns over in Wilmington. We\u2019re a New York state farm distillery; we\u2019re homegrown and our products are too. www.gristmilldistillers.com \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 About Cooperstown Distillers \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cooperstown's first and only microdistillery offers award-winning hand-crafted spirits, utilizing a majority of New York State agricultural products in its commitment as a farm distillery. With two locations right in the heart of Cooperstown, the distillery showcases the "field to flask" experience, offering distiller-led tours of their production facility, and tastings of their full line up of spirits at their 11 Railroad Ave. location.\u00a0 www.cooperstowndistillery.com \u00a0 \u00a0About Black Horse From Cape Town, South Africa with its sprawling beaches, luscious landscapes, majestic mountains and world-renowned wine lands come the unique flavors of Cynergy Caramel Infused Vodka and Bubblegum & Tequila Flavored Liqueurs.
