A newsletter about making and loving the things that bring us together in the Hudson Valley and everywhere else.

We started in 2019 as a group of whiskey enthusiasts embracing everyone who makes, serves and loves whiskey. Five years and 500 members later, our mission is still to taste everything, welcome everyone, and build real bonds with the folks who make real things.
