Business was slow so the woman serving drinks offered us a free tasting of their four main liquors: vodka, gin, maple spirit, and rye whiskey. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to give us detailed descriptions of each one. I'm no liquor expert but the gin and maple spirit were both delicious. We bought a bottle of each and can't wait to tuck into them later. We stayed for a few cocktails as well and really enjoyed their pleasant tasting room. If liquor isn't your thing, they also offer a few local wines and beers. Highly recommend checking this place out when you're in the area!

They offered free tours AND tastings, created seasonal cocktails, and even possessed a full event calendar. Their tasting included the Vly Creek Vodka, Drie Brook Rye Whiskey, FirGIN, and the Catskill Mountain Maple Spirit. The vodka was uniquely composed from wheat and apples, giving it a hint of sweetness and making it smooth enough to drink straight. The rye was excellent and not overly harsh, and the gin was packed with various herbs. The maple beverage was 80 proof and resembled a sweet rum or bourbon. I was not the hugest fan of the gin, but the others were all terrific! Also, the woman that hosted our experience was a complete sweetheart! There was a bar where you could order cocktails that included their products and a lounge in which to enjoy them. I opted for a seasonal blend of vodka, lemonade, and watermelon that was freshly-pressed by the owner. It was strong, but also tart and refreshing. The Union Grove Distillery provided a highly engaging and informative tasting, as well as a comfortable environment in which to enjoy their crafted liquors.

We were…read moreable to sit in a distanced group of Adirondack chairs around an incredible fire kettle (that wasn't lit -- daytime and warm enough). When we arrived back at our daughter's home, our son-in-law asked how it was. Her response was, "It was great." That sums it up well. There's a variety of mixed drinks using their on-premises gin and vodka as well as a small assortment of local wine. A sign says that you must order food to purchase drinks. Fine with us. The food choices at this time are snacky: chips and guac, brie bites, chips and salsa, nachos, etc. Everything but the brie in pastry cups was gluten free. The building is very nice and the family owners are as friendly as can be. I also visited a couple days ago and bought a bottle of gin. It's different from my normal preference but since they offer a small taste, it's easy to tell if you'll like it before purchasing. Finally, I like that they bring a chip/contactless credit card machine to you. It's similar to units that are common in Europe. I like that so much better than handing over my card. Receipts can be printed or emailed. It's very slick tech and very secure. I like supporting small, local, family operated businesses and this is a good one. It would have been 5 stars with a more extensive menu.

To me, there's something special about a visit to Yankee Distillers. There's a sense of "We know…read morewhat we want to do, and we're gonna do it!" here that I haven't gotten from many other distilleries. Being off the beaten path, it's not someplace that will get a lot of casual drive by's - they get the people who want to come here. I wasn't sure what would be of interest to me here. After the tastings, I was very pleasantly surprised to find it would be their vodka! I'm not normally a vodka person, but there is a very short list of distilleries that make a vodka I can actually sip, and I just added their Eleven Lakes Vodka to that list, most likely right at the top. Finishing a very close second was their Rye. By the way, the ingredients for these come 100% from New York State. And with so many distilleries in NY shortening their aging, I appreciated that all their whiskies age a minimum of 6.5 years. The people here definitely love their craft and appreciate conversation with folk who have an understanding of distilling. If, of course, you can make it past the very effective guard dogs, Basil and Barley - though it's not so much they're protecting the place, just making sure they get their much deserved attention from you before, during, and after, your drinks. There's almost always something new going on here; when we arrived today's list had just been freshly laminated. Visit often.

This review will be short and sweet…read more The Yankee Distillery is making their own booze on site and serving it at a simple bar as soon as you walk in. They are going the extra mile by making authentic mixers made with real ingredients. Take one look at the container of bloody mary mix on the bar and you will see what I mean. I ordered the Manhattan and it was fabulous. Every sip was perfection. The owner is a very warm and happy fella who clearly loves his business. The other draw at Yankee is the team of pugs that meet you on arrival. They look like loaves of bread with smooshy faces connected. One will sit on your lap with out any coaxing! This is a happy place serving happy things. The bottles of booze are a bit pricey but the drinks are reasonable. Definitely get out and enjoy one soon!

Highly recommend!

Learned some incredible facts: ask about the ford dealership that struck a deal with Henry Ford himself!
