Yankee Distillers
As a New York State farm distillery, we are required to use a minimum of 75% New York State raw materials in our spirits. But, we are happy to announce that we use 100% unmalted New York State Grain for our Bourbon, Rye, and Vodka. We know our farmers on a first name basis, and we would like you to get to know them too!
