In October 2015, we were granted our New York State “Farm Distiller’s” License. Since that day we have been working to not just make one outstanding spirit, but numerous spirits to satisfy the tastes of many. Committed to being a farm-to-glass distillery, almost 90% of what goes into our products comes from local farms. With our tasting room opening in August 2015, we were able to tease our customers with samples of each of our spirits. After getting an incredible reaction we knew we needed to do more and we needed to do it quickly. Playing off Southern Tier Brewery’s “The Empty Pint”, soon the distillery’s “The Empty Bottle” was created. We began serving handmade cocktails following our guidelines of “farm to glass”. Original cocktails recipes were created with freshly squeezed juices, Southern Tier spirits, and old faithful, our taste buds.
