OUR STORY
New York Spirits. New York Grit.
At Empire State Distillers, we craft spirits that embody the character of our home state: bold, hardworking, and built on pride. From grain to glass, every bottle is shaped by the farmers, makers, and landscapes that define New York. Our mission is simple: create exceptional spirits worthy of the Empire State name.
Rooted in craftsmanship and guided by innovation, we distill with intention. Our spirits are made in small batches, using locally sourced ingredients and time-honored techniques that honor New York’s agricultural heritage. Whether it’s a whiskey shaped by patience and oak, a vodka refined to clarity, a rum with depth and fire, or a brandy expressing the Finger Lakes’ harvest, each product carries the unmistakable mark of quality.
