Montauk Distilling Co.

Small-batch spirits take on a new edge when distilled in the city. Montauk Distilling Co. brings that urban energy to a compact still house where vodka, gin, and whiskey are produced in small runs. The process leans into local ingredients where possible, yielding bottles that carry a distinct New York character.

You’ll find the operation at 323 E 108th St, just off First Avenue in East Harlem. The neighborhood has long been a patchwork of bodegas, brownstones, and creative spaces, and the distillery fits right in—a quiet industrial counterpoint to the street’s lively storefronts. Visitors often stop by after browsing the nearby markets or grabbing coffee at one of the corner cafés.

Tastings and tours are available on select days, though scheduling ahead is recommended. Bottles of their signature spirits can usually be purchased on-site, and the staff can walk you through the differences between their expressions. If you’re curious about availability or tour times, the number to call is (646) 692-3524.

For directions, the map is straightforward: pull up the listing and head toward the northern edge of the Upper East Side. A short walk from the 6 train, it’s easy to reach without a car.
