Klocke Estate sits on a sprawling property in Hudson, New York, where the rolling hills of Columbia County meet the Hudson River Valley. Founded by the Klocke family, this farm-to-bottle operation combines traditional distilling methods with modern sustainable farming practices on their multi-generational property. The distillery produces small-batch spirits using grains grown right on their estate, creating a true seed-to-glass experience that’s becoming increasingly rare in craft distilling. The operation centers around a beautifully restored barn that houses their copper pot stills and fermentation tanks, while the surrounding farmland provides the raw materials for their whiskeys and seasonal spirits. You’ll find yourself in an authentic working farm environment where the connection between agriculture and distilling isn’t just marketing speak—it’s the daily reality. The family’s commitment to sustainable practices extends from their organic farming methods to their energy-efficient distillation process, making this one of the more environmentally conscious operations in the Hudson Valley.
