Newfield, NY — Finger Lakes Distilling, a staple of the region since its establishment in 2007, is thrilled to announce the opening of its second location in Newfield, NY. This new facility, located at 1143 Elmira Rd, officially opened its doors with a soft launch in early December and will continue to welcome visitors Fridays through Sundays from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Expanded hours are planned for the spring season.

The new site serves as both a practical expansion and an exciting new destination for Finger Lakes Distilling’s loyal patrons. Initially acquired to support storage needs for barrels and finished goods, the facility will also become home to the distillery’s bottling operations in the future. While no distillation will occur on-site, visitors can look forward to a vibrant adjacent tasting room offering an array of experiences including:

-Craft cocktails and flights

-Bottle sales of Finger Lakes Distilling’s award-winning spirits

-Light food items

“This expansion nearly doubles our operational footprint,” said Brian McKenzie, Owner & Founder. “The Newfield location will allow us to better serve both our existing customers and the many travelers along Route 13, providing a convenient and welcoming space to enjoy our spirits.”

The Newfield tasting room aims to become a hub for the local community and visitors alike. Plans for the future include:

-Educational events about spirits and distillation

-Guided barrel house tours

-Private barrel selections

-Space rentals for small, intimate events

-Collaboration with local food trucks and other food options

The addition of this high-traffic location is a strategic move for Finger Lakes Distilling, which has been crafting award-winning spirits from its headquarters in Burdett, NY since 2008. The distillery is best known for its McKenzie whiskeys, named after its founders and owners, but also produces vodka, gin, brandies, and liqueurs. Additionally, it provides bulk spirits for local wineries and cideries, further strengthening its ties to the region’s vibrant craft beverage industry.

With its convenient location on Route 13, the Newfield tasting room is perfectly positioned to attract commuters and visitors looking to grab local beer, wine, cider, and cocktails to go. The new space underscores Finger Lakes Distilling’s commitment to growth, innovation, and community engagement.
