Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery
Overview of the Distillery
Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery is located in the Adirondack region and makes craft spirits from grains and fruits grown in New York State. The distillery uses water from the Springbrook Hollow spring and offers a broad range of products: Two Sisters Vodka, Sly Fox Gin, flavored liqueurs and local moonshines as well as Adirondack bourbons. The site invites guests for tours and tastings, and visitors encounter a dog-friendly, smoke-free facility with local dining options.
Ingredients and Production
The production relies on local ingredients from New York State and Adirondack spring water as the water source. Two of the recipe names stand out: Two Sisters Vodka is made from wheat with no additives, and Two Sisters Lemoncello and Orangecello are produced using citrus zest only. The range also includes Sly Fox Gin, fruit-based moonshines, and American bourbons under the Adirondack name. The information points to a craft approach with a focus on clean ingredients, local resources, and simple recipes in both neutral spirits and flavored products.
Whiskeys
The range spans from neutral base spirits to flavored liqueurs and American whiskey. Key names in the collection include Two Sisters Vodka and its liqueur variants, Sly Fox Gin, Howl at the Apple Moonshine and Howl at the Maple Moonshine, as well as Adirondack High Rye Bourbon and Adirondack Blended Straight Bourbon. Moonshines are recommended served over ice or as part of a Hot Toddy, while the liqueurs are highlighted as good for desserts and cold drinks. Overall, the range encompasses both classic spirit types and local flavored variants.
