Great flights of spirits while you let the local felines . Enjoyed the taco truck outside. Great spot for groups and families.

We had guest visiting and we always pass by this place so we thought, why not give it a shot!? It was a cold rainy day so we ran in not knowing what to expect. I think this is an awesome distillery and I can see it being even more fun in warmer weather! This place is know for whiskey and rye. It's cool because they do sampler in a little vile glass which I think is creative. Their cocktails were also super delicious! The service was great! It's seems that they definitely have regular customers that come in. It's not too big of a spot but there was a lot of seating both tables and around the bar. read more

A nice whiskey distillery with a bar/tasting room and nice outdoor seating by the stream. I love the beautiful ambiance of the outdoor seating area - its flanked by trees and you can listen to the gurgling sounds of the stream while enjoying your drinks. This distillery is also has grounds you can walk around and explore (not too big though). We took a peek at their aging/storage room with wooden casks while there, as well as their distillery. We were treated to a free, small sample of their whiskey at their bar. Its a nice stop when in upstate NY area. read more

Went for my first time in years and it's under new ownership, and a bit different of a vibe, but great still. They don't serve food but they have a food truck outside. Inside, service was great and drinks were made quickly and at a good price. I had a beet vodka drink and a rocket pop lemonade. I was happy with my drinks. What really makes the is place though is the outdoor area. You can sit and watch the water. It was not that busy when I was there and it was so tranquil. I will be back to get more drinks and probably some apple vodka. read more

Cute old distillery! We just stopped in after visiting nearby Benmarl Winery. The rep.Liz mentioned the historic house dates back to (If I heard correctly) "1788" (Wowza!) The house does look very old from the outside. In addition, there's a Taco Truck in front of the distillery. The tacos were pretty good. The distillery had outside seating area by a creek. I've never done a whiskey flight. The Hudson Valley whisky flight for 6 vials was about $20. It was extra $3.00 for a the 7 year old whisky sample. The 7 year old was my favorite. It had a nice smooth taste!. During our visit, we met the house cat "Bourbon". He appeared very relaxed. We did go home with souvenir glasses. A small parking area is available on the grounds. read more

My girlfriend and I came here for a quick whiskey tasting, and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Our bartender (forgot her name, but she was lovely) was extremely knowledgeable and helped guide us into choosing the 6 spirits we could try. We ended up doing 3 and 3 and sharing the vials. You also get complimentary rocks glasses. We had a fun experience trying the spirits but what really made us enjoy the place was the specialty cocktails they have, and the personalities of the employees. Everyone working there was so friendly and welcoming and we felt right at home. I wish I had written down the names of the drinks we had, but one of them was like a breakfast cocktail in terms of taste (bacon, pancakes, maple syrup, and even had a whole egg in it as well). The other was one with ginger beer and apple vodka. We loved both of our drinks. They tasted fantastic and had beautiful presentation. This place was lovely overall. Again, as much as we liked our tasting, it was the interaction with the employees and the cocktails that really stood out. The ambiance of the bar added to that. It was clean, quiet, and relaxing. Next time we plan to do the full tour of the distillery, which we didn't have time to do that day. Definitely check them out! read more

Our last hurrah in the area. We were here at noon on Friday. It was their blueberry themed day. Our server is one of the usuals and she rrecognized us! Service was smooth and efficient. We wanted some food and are thankful for the food truck in the parking lot. It was pretty calm today and we were happy to end our travel with this stop. read more

Wow- amazing place for having a leisurely afternoon tasting. You can order a flight to taste but they come in tubes you can actually bring home to taste later along with a cup from them. Ordered an old fashioned from the bar and it did not disappoint. All the staff was so friendly and gave suggestions as to what to order, when one drink was not liked, they immediately made something else, no problems. They have a nice selection of things to buy from local vendors like some really great chocolates along with their spirits. read more

Mmmmmmmm this place is yummy! Everything from the rustic ambience to the warm people to the folksy music to the cozy drinks! And don't forget the food truck! This historic home is nestled at the end of a street along a sleepy winding creek but with plenty of parking. There's an outdoor seating area and on this Sunday there is a burrito food truck with plenty of vegetarian options. We did the flights which comes with an awesome glass as a souvenir! My favorites: This Is Your Favorite Whisky, Short Stack (a must have for home) and Citrus Moon. I tried a specialty cocktail also and it was awesome! It was the Clove Smoke Catharsis and had hints of orange and clove. The staff is really what makes this place! They are so friendly, knowledgeable, down to earth and made us feel welcome to come back! If I'm ever in the area again, I want to bring my friends here! read more

Didn't get a chance to eat there but the spirits are world class and the staff was delightful. They helped us choose the right bottles to take with us on our way to Wildflower Farms and they even discounted what we bought because apparently they have a partnership. Inside it's amazing to look at - given they were previously a small operation before being bought out by one of the big players in the beverage industry. It's got beautiful vibes and is a very happy place to taste some spirits and enjoy a drink with friends. read more

We visit here a few times a year from Long Island. The staff is always pleasant and the drinks delicious. However, this time when we checked out, we learned we couldn't leave a tip on the card and that the servers could only receive cash tips. We rarely have cash in this day and age. I don't know many people who do. Needless to say, we couldn't leave a tip which was beyond embarrassing for us since we are big tippers. I even asked if there was an ATM machine or if we could Venmo them. No, we could not. read more

The tour was one of our highlights. It was very well explained and professionally conducted. The tasting was impeccably chosen. The surroundings and history of the building and the area was the finishing touch on a remarkable experience. read more

We were excited to stop here on our way home from Woodstock. They are doing everything by the books- temp check, partitions inside, and also have an outdoor patio for tastings. The staff was lovely, I wish I had asked for their names--we received thorough explanations of all the tasting options and differences in the whiskey and rye. The tastings are provided in small glass vials and you get a tasting glass to take home which is nicer than most you receive at other distilleries. We ordered chips to eat with the tasting and walked away with a bottle of the short stack that I've just used to make an old fashioned. It's perfect! If you are nearby, make a stop here. It's absolutely worth it. If we would have had more time we would have stayed for a cocktail too! read more

Years ago a friend gave us a tasting of Hudson Whiskey NY whiskey. We are traveling in the area so we decided to stop and have a tasting. We were not disappointed. We had 5 tastings and a glass for $12 and then I ordered the drink in the picture. Very different and delicious. I must learn how to make this at home. There are a lot of fun spots to hang out and you can order your drink online and they will bring it to your table. read more

My relationship with whiskey is on the rocks. Ok, so I'm not a big whiskey drinker or connoisseur but I have to say this place just opened up the whiskey door to me! Came here for our 6th year anniversary and I was not disappointed. Made some reservations for me and the hubby as a surprise and they sure took care of us. Did the distillery tour and tasting and seriously had such an amazing time. They truly explain the whole process to you and it's so much fun trying 3 different whiskeys while you're at it. The best part is you can buy some to take home AND you get to keep your cool whiskey glasses. I was a little bummed that the restaurant was closed til further notice but they did have a little snack section outside to purchase some things. I had packed a little romantic picnic with some bread, cheese and olives so we just brought a blanket, found a good spot to relax and enjoyed our time. I do have to say it's nice to go here when it's kind of chilly and sun out to be able to get the best out of it. Great experience, will definitely come back! Whiskey maple syrup is to die for! read more

Nestled in a beautiful surrounding area just nearby a field of wildflowers, this multi-building operation features tasty whiskies and gin. We arrived too late to do a tour, but we were able to do a tasting. The pricing was fair, $20 per person and a take away glass that was etched with the distillery's name. We didn't have space in our luggage to take a bottle home, but if we did the Short Stack was my favorite. read more

Came across this gem on my way back from hiking at Minnewaska State Park. What's better than a whiskey flight after a 3 hour hike?! NOTHING!! The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Excellent spirits! Highly recommended and Bourbon the cat distillery cat is SO CUTE! My BF and i each did a flight so we basically tried everything they had! We both enjoyed it thoroughly. A few of my favorites were the gin (i hate gin usually) and the lemon vodka omg and the coffee liquor AMAZING! My BF loved the back room deal and it's your favorite whisky. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area! read more

If you're a fan of whiskey, it's not a complete trip upstate until you make a stop at Tuthilltown Distillery. I've been here a few times now and love the vibe; it's so tranquil and unfussy. Lots of outdoor seating out front (where the distillery cats, Bourbon & Rye, usually hang) as well as out back at picnic tables surrounded by all the trees and greenery. My favorite whiskey is the "It's Your Favorite Whiskey" -- and, if you decide you really like it as well, grab a bottle because they don't sell or distribute this one back in the city. You can do a tasting by getting a tasting kit that comes with 5 vials of whiskey/gin/whatever you choose to taste (and it comes with a cute little branded whiskey glass). This is a great option if it's your first time here and you're not sure what to get. They also have cocktails if that's more your scene. Currently, you can grab bottles of whiskey or bitters or merch inside, and when you sit outside to order drinks or tastings you enter it all via QR code/online ordering and they simply bring everything out to you. It feels super safe during Covid times and I appreciate the contactless options for ordering/paying. Love this place and can't wait to go back! read more

Had such a great time at this distillery when upstate for the weekend. Found it via Yelp (woohoo!) and the reviews did not steer me wrong. We did a tasting flight each - the bf did all the whiskies while I did whiskies, gin + the coffee liqueur. The require food at the moment due to NYS laws - but they had bags of chips which went along nicely and didn't require ordering a full meal. We also did a few cocktails after the flights + got some items to go home. Friendly service, quick attendance, covid safe and tasty whiskey! What's not to love? read more

What a change from what I remember - this place used to speak to class and upscale food and cocktails with a Local fresh vibe. Now you order generic drinks and have to enjoy a cocktail out of a plastic cup.. wow such a fail- guys glasses are super inexpensive you pay more for those plastic cups even with breakage. Do the math - and the environment we won't go there .. at least offer a glass option if you pay for the souvenir - just some free advice ... step it up ... read more

One out of two cocktails were ok, no food/snacks are provided and they have cute kitty companions. The only food around is a taco truck but unfortunately it isn't good:( Not going to lie the tamale was decent except it was just spicy, the flavor wasn't really shining through but that masa though, that was on point. They had empanadas too and that was just No. The masa was so dry and I didn't care for the flavor it had. The ground meat inside was like sand and had absolutely no flavor. Overall it's best to come here with your own food and try the flight. read more

The whiskey is fine, good even. But the service? At least if you're over 50 years old, as are my wife and I, be prepared to be ignored by the staff behind the bar. I mean completely ignored. For several minutes. As if we were invisible. Which I guess to the 20 something bartenders we somehow were. Finally another staffer walking by noticed us and finally took our order for a tasting. And then we were pretty much ignored again. No insights into the various bourbons, no information beyond was was printed on the card sitting on the bar. All in all an extremely unpleasant experience. read more

One of the people who was with me during our visit to Tuthilltown Distillery was heard to say: "Sign me up for your Booze of the Month Club... NOW!!!" (Sadly, I don't believe there is such a thing, but if there were, it would be about 3 notches beyond awesome). Our visit here today was somewhere between fantastic and epic. That includes the staff (friendly, attentive, humorous, knowledgeable) and the spirits. I am also 66% happier with the tastings, because - and this is a fairly new update - New York State now allows you to sample 5 liquors instead of 3. You can also get unlimited samples of their non- or less-alcoholic products (the ones which are classified as "food") such as tonics, bitters, and syrups. It was still a tough decision to whittle my choices down to 5, but the woman who guided us through our tastings provided enough information on the backgrounds of the other liquors to help us make informed decisions. The liquors are memorable. Yes, they do cost more, but you are definitely getting your money's worth. If you don't want to pay full price, do a Yelp check-in the first time for a 10% discount, and on future visits, bring your empty bottles for 10% discounts. I thought I was done after sampling the ryes and bourbons and their own bitters, but then - evil people that they are - they let me sample their bourbon infused maple syrup. PANCAKES TOMORROW!!! Be sure to also say hi to Bourbon and Rye, the two Kliban-esque cats who actually run the place. Bourbon is the more social of the two. Bourbon's primary purpose in life appears to be to guard the spot on the table where the sun shines... until you open a package of oyster crackers as a palate cleanser. Then Bourbon is your best friend. So actually, after visiting here, I have not one but two Bourbons as my best friends. The other is their four grain bourbon. Be sure, besides considering this Distillery, to visit the Hudson Valley Beer Trail website - which also features distilleries such as this one - for more information. read more

By far, my number one favorite place to visit whenever I'm upstate and here's why: 1. It's absolutely beautiful, you can sit by the creek if you want or stay close to their quarters but the greenery is stunning. 2. Their booze is delicious! 3. The staff is SO friendly. I actually decided to make this place my destination for my proposal and their staff member, Fabian, was a dream to work with. He made the entire process seamless and was genuinely kind and happy to make my idea into a reality. Everyone I talk to, I make sure to let them know about this place. If you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for? read more
