Tuthilltown Distillery

This distillery, a short drive from New Paltz and Minnewaska State Park, was founded in 2003 but it’s still the oldest distillery to produce whiskey in New York State since prohibition ended (and the first bourbon in the state). Some connoisseurs consider the product overpriced for what it is, but if you’re in the area, coming for a tour and tasting here is a lot of fun, and the setting of the Tuthilltown Gristmill, a landmark which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is scenic as well.
