Black Sheep Distillery is a heartwarming family-owned business with a rich history. Founded by a couple who met as teenagers, Kim & Dean Massaro’s love story has blossomed alongside their passion for crafting spirits. With a strong commitment to quality and community, they've created a distillery that honors veterans and showcases the best of New York State's terroir. Their hand-crafted spirits, made with locally sourced ingredients, reflect their dedication to producing exceptional, small-batch products.

Black Sheep Distillery offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that blends rustic charm with eclectic design. The unfinished wood accents and military memorabilia create a unique and cozy ambiance. Expansive porches provide comfortable seating areas, perfect for enjoying live music and friendly conversation. The friendly hosts and guests add to the lively and welcoming atmosphere, making it a great place to relax, socialize, and savor delicious spirits.

The drinks were a highlight of our inaugural visit to the Black Sheep. Kathy & I thoroughly enjoyed  the Leatherneck Old Fashioned (Kathy had 2!), a perfectly balanced cocktail with a warm, rich flavor and a delightful luxardo cherry garnish. King enjoyed a lemony and refreshing gin cocktail made with the distillery's XXI Gin, while Kim savored a rich and flavorful pumpkin stout from a local brewery.

Black Sheep Distillery is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable experience. The warm and inviting atmosphere, combined with the delicious spirits and friendly hosts, creates a truly special place. Whether you're a whiskey connoisseur or simply looking for a good time, you'll be impressed by the quality of their products and the passion behind the brand. We highly recommend a visit to this hidden gem and look forward to many more trips to Black Sheep Distillery in the future.
