Discovering the New York Craft Spirits Boom

All The Tastes of New York introduces us to the new movement, of “Farm to Glass” through new book, “Discovering the New York Craft Spirits Boom”. The book shares the stories of 30 New York craft spirit distillers, their journey to success, and their emphasis on using locally grown products. It is an intimate look into each of their struggles, triumphs, and the decision to embark upon this journey. Distillers that distill spirits such as Whiskey, Bourbon, Gin, Vodka and much more! This book has already been endorsed by Alexander Smalls-Restaurateur-Executive Chef at Minton's & The Cecil, Ray Foley-Founder and Editor Bartender Magazine, Tommy Tardie – Owner at The Flatiron Room, Warren Bobrow-Author/Cook/Barman/ Spirits Consultant, to list a few! Foreword by Julie C. Suarez, Assistant Dean, Cornell University “Walking the halls of the state capitol in 2007 with a small but committed group of farmers and food entrepreneurs, I never imagined that the creation of a new farm distillery license category would spark such tremendous growth. At the time, I was convinced this law would merely be a small change, enabling a few farmers the opportunity to grow crops for a niche market and opening doors for the next generation to start up their own distillery and add value to the home farm. This book conclusively demonstrates the economic growth that can occur from positive public policy. I am impressed with the foresight of the author in showcasing New York's outstanding craft and farm based distilleries, and suspect a new edition will be needed in a few years time to accommodate new entrants. A thoughtful profile of each distillery, beautiful photographs and of course, excellent cocktail recipes make this book a treasure for local foodies.”
