Long Island Spirits is a microdistillery based in Baiting Hollow, New York, established in 2007 as the first craft distillery on Long Island since the 19th century. Situated among 5,000 acres of potato farmland, the distillery employs a comprehensive farm-to-bottle handcrafted distillation approach.
LiV Vodka
LiV Vodka is crafted entirely from locally and sustainably grown Marcy Russet potatoes sourced from Long Island, resulting in a gluten-free spirit. The vodka undergoes small-batch distillation using both pot and column stills, with only the purest portion of the distillate—the heart—being bottled.
Sorbetta
Sorbettas represent the pioneering potato-based liqueurs on the U.S. market, created in micro-batches by blending the company’s vodka with hand-peeled citrus fruits and berries cultivated locally. The lineup includes five distinct flavors: lemon, lime, orange, strawberry, and raspberry.
Pine Barrens Whisky
Pine Barrens is an American single malt whiskey produced from a Barley Wine Styled Ale and holds the distinction of being Long Island’s inaugural whisky. It is pot-distilled in limited quantities and matured in charred American Oak barrels.
Rough Rider Bourbon
Produced by Long Island Spirits, Rough Rider Bourbon utilizes a proprietary technique involving carefully chosen barrels of aged straight bourbon whiskey, wine casks from local Long Island vineyards, and a distinctive finishing process with a 180 proof brandy "cask wash." Its mash bill comprises 60% corn, 35% rye, and 5% malted barley, aged for several years in new charred American white oak barrels.
