Distillery Information

At Coppersea Distillery, which is situated near Holy Cross Monastery on a bluff above the Hudson River, heritage distilling includes a green malting process which has been little used in the past 300 years. While most distilleries purchase their grain already malted and dried, Coppersea floor malts its grain all of which is sourced locally at the distillery and is one of only a handful of distilleries to still use this technique.
