The Gristmill family

Distinct spirits. One Adirondack distillery.

Whiskey, apple brandy, and vodka made in New York—each with its own name, character, and story.

Our flagship range

Black Fly Whiskeys

Four expressions shaped by New York grain, mountain water, and an unapologetically Adirondack point of view.

84.4 proof · 42.2% ABV

Made from 100% New York corn and aged in new American oak. Oak and sap meet vanilla, cinnamon, and a clean, gently spiced finish.

85 proof · 42.5% ABV

A rye-forward New York whiskey with a dry, warming character and the kind of spice that stands up beautifully in a classic cocktail.

85 proof · 42.5% ABV

Seventy percent New York rye and thirty percent New York corn, aged in used American oak for a balance of rye spice and corn sweetness.

86 proof · 43% ABV

New York whiskey with a measured touch of maple—smooth, warming, and made for cool evenings after a long day outside.

1892 · Forever Wild

A spirited expression of New York apples, distilled and rested with the same patience we bring to our whiskey.

Named for the year New York established the Adirondack Park, 1892 celebrates a landscape that remains forever wild.
