Long Island Spirits is an award-winning microdistillery in Baiting Hollow, New York. Founded in 2007, it is the first craft distillery on Long Island since the 1800s. Surrounded by 5,000 acres of potato farms, Long Island Spirits is a full farm-to-bottle hand craft distillery operation.

Contents

LiV Vodka

LiV is crafted using 100% sustainably and locally farmed marcy russet potatoes from Long Island, resulting in a gluten-free spirit. LiV is created using small batch pot and column distillation, bottling only the heart of the distillate.

Sorbetta

Sorbettas are the first potato-based liqueurs to be available in the United States. They are made micro-batches from the spirits of the company's vodka, combined with hand-peeled citrus fruit and locally-grown berries. Long Island Spirits offers five different flavored Sorbetta's; lemon, lime, orange, strawberry, and raspberry.

Pine Barrens Whisky

Pine Barrens is an American single malt whiskey crafted from a Barley Wine Styled Ale, and is the first to be distilled on Long Island. It is pot-distilled in small batches, then aged in charred American Oak casks.

Rough Rider Bourbon

Rough Rider is handcrafted by Long Island Spirits in a proprietary manner incorporating hand selected barrels of aged straight bourbon whisky, using local Long Island wine casks and a unique 180 proof brandy "cask finishing wash". The bourbon starts out as a highly refined mash bill, consisting of 60% corn, 35% rye, and 5% malted barley, and is aged for several years in charred new American white oak barrels.
