Brand Y Distillery

About

Locally distilled moonshine, vodka and something called Rumskey are the products at Brand Y Distillery, a craft distillery in Cortland that serves tastings, sells bottles and mixes cocktails. It’s a stop for anyone curious about locally made spirits. A visit is part tasting room, part bottle shop and part cocktail bar.

Rumskey is the standout: the distillery says Cortland is the only place in New York where it’s made. Visitors can sample before they buy, then take a bottle home or stay for a cocktail. It’s a fun stop in a city better known for SUNY Cortland than for spirits.
