The Adirondack Distilling Company produces hand-crafted, internationally award-winning, premium spirits from locally sourced corn and water from the Adirondack Mountains, which means all of their spirits are naturally gluten-free. Hand-crafting allows them to laboriously choose what parts of the alcohol make the cut as finished product into your bottle, resulting in unique flavors and remarkably smooth finishes.

Their flagship vodka is chill filtered over Herkimer Diamonds (a doubly terminated quartz crystal) producing the cleanest, clearest spirit. Exceptionally smooth! The 1000 stills white whisky is lightly aged in an un-charred, White American Oak barrel, showcasing a true clean taste of corn whisky with slight oak overtones.

A traditional dry gin crafted using ten unique botanicals and essential oils, including juniper orange root, cinnamon, and alpine bilberries native to the Adirondack Region, boasting a tart berry taste. Central New York’s first legal bourbon is made from 100% New York State corn, without any other grain or caramel color and flavoring.

The distillery is housed in a historic building with deep roots in the community, originally built to handle the finances of the 125-year-old F.X. Matt Brewing Co., later becoming a popular concert venue before falling into disrepair. It has been revitalized, blending its rich history with modern distillation technology.

Visitors can enjoy an immersive tour of their distillery, learning about their meticulous distillation process from grain to glass. See their state-of-the-art German stills in action and discover the unique techniques used to craft their spirits. Guided tasting sessions are also available, sampling their flagship vodka, gin, white whisky, and Central New York’s first legal bourbon.
