In depth

The full guide to Catskill Distilling Company

Ownership, how it is made, the range and quick answers, all in one place.

Catskill Distilling Company is based in Bethel in the Catskill Mountains, a short drive from the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival.

The distillery makes small batches of bourbon, rye and other spirits, and has built a name for unusual grain choices such as buckwheat.

It is a small operation with a tasting room, and a good stop on a whiskey trip through New York State.
