The goal of Coppersea Distilling is to create world-class spirits that showcase the terroir of the Hudson Valley. As such, they consider themselves to be a distillery in service to a farm, rather than a farm in service to a distillery. Coppersea is one of the few distilleries in the world where nearly every aspect of the process is conducted on site and by hand, from growing and malting to fermenting, distilling, aging and bottling. Coppersea also recently co-developed the first cooperage in New York State in order to age their whiskies and brandies in New York State grown oak.
