New York's Only Single Malt Whisky Distillery Is a Train Ride Away From Grand Central

"Tucked into Amenia, New York, a few miles from the Connecticut border, I found Tenmile Distillery producing ultra-smooth vodka, an award-winning gin, and Little Rest, a new single malt whisky made with 100% New York State–grown barley. The distillery operates out of a former farm designed by Allan Shope — the estate even includes an eco-home tucked under a cliff with built-in insulation and solar panels — and was purchased in 2017 by John Dyson and his son-in-law Joel LeVangia, who now serves as General Manager. They brought in Scottish master distiller Shane Fraser (who built his pedigree at Royal Lochnagar, Oban, Glenfarclas, and Wolfburn), installed custom Forsyths copper stills in the refurbished dairy barn, and put the distillation equipment behind large glass so the process is fully on display; the stills’ curves are both beautiful and functional, controlling reflux and how condensation reintegrates with the spirit. Little Rest is made in small batches from barley grown mostly within a 30-mile radius, fermented nearly 160 hours (about seven days) for added depth, and aged three years in Scottish-style cask barns; for this first release they produced 4,000 bottles and continue to experiment with sherry casks and barrels from Dyson’s William Selyem winery. Nearly all ingredients are sourced in New York State (the exceptions being the whisky yeast and a few gin botanicals), they’re planning to plant barley on-site and harvest estate botanicals, and an heirloom apple orchard on the property may be used for Calvados or gin infusions in the future." - Lucy Simon

Thanks, Tom, for the excellent tour! Also, thank you to the QT bartender with the great recommendations. The space is incredible. Coming from Tennessee, I know a thing or two about whiskey (mostly bad experiences), but this whiskey is exceptional. When you taste something truly crafted, you can taste the passion of those who make it. This tastes like the people here love what they do. I will definitely be back. Oh! The food is delicious. I love Thai food and this slaps.

Just visited this lovely distillery for the first over the weekend and was extremely impressed. The space was stunning - charming wood building, high ceilings and fire place, making its ambiance top notch. So welcoming and warm! The staff - friendly, professional, highly knowledgeable and super attentive. Tom was fantastic and we can’t say enough good words about him and the service he provided. The drink menu was extensive and drinks made to perfection. There are also wine and beer selections, as well. The food was spectacular - we had the curry puffs, green Thai curry and Pad Thai - everything was fresh and tasty. I was so impressed with my first visit and can’t wait to return!

Had a wonderful time last weekend at Ten Mile Distillery. The atmosphere, service and drinks were fabulous. We also had some delicious Thai food from Thai Baan. The property is beautiful and its conveniently located within a short walk from the MNRR (Harlem Line) Ten Mile River Train Station. There is also plenty of parking for patrons that choose to drive there. Jasper my Service Dog Paw Approved the place as well by partaking in the enjoyment with a Ten Mile Distillery Dog Toy I purchased for him.

It might sound weird but I go there just for Thai food. It is amazing. I cant forget the authentic flavors.

A Total Gem — Thai Baan at Tenmile Distillery My partner and I just had our second meal at Thai Baan, and wow — it was just as amazing as the first. We moved to Kent, CT from the East Village back in 2020, and while we love it here, one thing we really missed was great Thai food. It’s my favorite cuisine, and Thai Baan totally fills that gap — and then some. The food is fantastic. The basil fried rice was flavorful and comforting, and the pineapple fried rice (served in a real pineapple!) was not only delicious but such a showstopper on the table. The lettuce cups and spring rolls were fresh, crisp, and so satisfying. Jason, who runs the front of house (and is the chef’s husband), is warm, welcoming, and keeps everything running smoothly. Service was friendly, fast, and thoughtful — our food came out hot and quick, without ever feeling rushed. We started at the beautiful tasting room bar, where Corey the bartender made us feel totally at home. Super friendly and knowledgeable — it was a perfect kickoff to the evening. The space itself is gorgeous — great lighting, great music, just a really inviting vibe. It all made for the perfect birthday dinner. And on our way out, I happened to run into the chef — such a kind, gracious person. You can taste the care in every bite, and meeting her just confirmed how special this place really is. If you’re anywhere near Wassaic or northwest CT, Thai Baan is 100% worth the trip. A real hidden gem.

This was among the best distilleries I’ve ever been to and toured. The place is premium priced, but the products are of a quality to match. The owner Joel is passionate, hospitable, and friendly. He gave us a personal tour that was so enjoyable and informative. It became clear to us that this distillery is leading the way in quality and craftsmanship. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I especially appreciated the quality of their gin. I’m not even a particular gin person, but I could immediately tell the difference in quality. After meeting the owner I can confidently say that Tenmile Distillery prides themselves on hospitality and “old ways” quality!

The Double Matured 2024 release is super good. The gin is very good too. I enjoyed the flight but the drinks were a little weak for my taste. Overall it's a wonderful place and experience.

This is the second time we have been to Tenmile Distillery. The first was for a Mother's Day dinner the other was today for a tour and tasting. The Mother's Day dinner was exceptional so I was expecting the tour and tasting to be exceptional and they did not disappoint. The rich history of the property was presented along with the history of the making of the distillery. Then a detailed explanation of the whiskey, vodka and gin making process. Fascinating!!! A tasting followed with a flight of four spirits. Each was described to perfection. The tour host was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. If you live in NYC, take the train to the Tenmile stop and enjoy the day.

Came for some evening cocktails after seeing it listed as a suggested destination in HV. It was disappointing to be ignored by the staff repeatedly while seated at the bar. It took at least 15 minutes to get a greeting. There was zero check in's and we had to flag down the staff to close the tab. Drink prices are reasonable but flavor was plain at best. I personally would not recommend coming all the way out here for a drink. You'd be better off at places like Hudson House Distillery or Feast and Floret in comparison.

A buddy of mine and I went to Tenmile Distillery, chosen primarily because it is so close to the Tenmile train station, where we were picking up his wife and kids coming in from Manhattan that afternoon. Easily walkable from the train station (Metro North out of the city), so we could sit at the bar with our whiskeys and wait for the family to arrive. Very convenient! Very nice and spacious place, with ample seating at the bar at the far end of the facility, tables inside and out. They had the first batch of their whiskey for sale. We had a small sample, and then decided to have a glass each. It was good, but tasted a little young. Might have been better if it aged a little longer. Still, quite enjoyable. A little on the expensive side though, at $22 a glass. With tax and tip, we were close to $60 when we left. I enquired about a bottle, thinking maybe I might take one back. That would have set me back $189. The bartender indicated that it was their first batch, and numbered. The numbering suggests that they were targeting the collector crowd. Fine if you're into that, but I wasn't. She also indicated that the next batch would be cheaper (about $80), and if we bought the first batch, we could keep our number for the second and subsequent batches. Again, obviously targeting the collectors. We are not them. The distillery does serve food, and they seem to have a really nice setup outside. We didn't stay here for that, and I can't comment on it. But I certainly liked the setup and ambience. Might try it another time.

Tenmile Distillery is a hidden gem! Visiting Tenmile is like visiting a genuine Scottish distillery. We booked a tour on a Saturday afternoon online. The online booking system is very easy to use. The basic tours are free of charge. Our tour guide, Chris, was a knowledgeable young man. He provided an excellent tour of the operation. We've toured many distilleries in Scotland, and Tenmile is on par with the very best. The tour ended at the bar, and Tenmile provided complimentary tastings. Fantastic! Tenmile produces a Scotch-style whisky that's equal to the very best in the world. We also sampled the vodka and gin. The vodka was outstanding. The hall and bar feature beautiful woodwork. Overall cleanliness: Spotless Bathroom cleanliness: Spotless Overall service: Excellent We highly recommend Tenmile!

Fathers Day treat in this stunning facility with a super tour guide. Setting is gorgeous (country club vibe) right behind Metro North! As much as we enjoy liquor, didn't know much about the process. We learned! Food is available from a camper van on the premises. After the tour got to sample the goods and invest in a bottle. Getting soused never looked so good!

Tenmile Distillery is in Wassaic, NY. The drive is quite beautiful and scenic. Then you arrive at the distillery and you are transported to Scotland. The building, the grounds, the water flowing, just a picturesque setting. Tom greets us at the door and you see the lovely stills. Tom hands us off to Chris for our tour on a nice Saturday afternoon. The great hall is just lovely and I love the attention to detail. Chris gives us a lovely tour of this gorgeous distillery and how everything is made, very impressive. Tenmile uses all NY companies for the making of their gin, vodka, and whisky. I love the support of local farms and businesses for the best quality ingredients. The stills are gorgeous and the whole process is wonderful to see and the smells are amazing. Then we get to see the barrel room and the smells are amazing. We were able to see all aspects of the spirits making process and bottling. Then we went to the tasting room and such a lovely bar area. The vodka is amazing. The smell is floral but the taste is unlike any vodka I have ever had. I am not a fan of gin but Tenmile gin is the only gin I like. It is perfectly balanced without the overwhelming flower taste. Now whisky, WOW, blew me away! I have been to Scotland, been to over 30 distilleries, owned many bottles of Scotch and even Whisky from Asia, this is amazing whisky! This is a hidden gem and is worth the trip to try incredible spirits and whisky that rival any Scottish distillery.

Gorgeous tasting room offering good cocktails of their upscale spirits. If you're around in good weather, take a stroll through the historic fruit trees and admire the shiny stills! My group were lucky enough to catch "New Curds on the Block" and "To The Gills" a foodie couple where Kate she served up artisanal cheese plates while Zach served up oysters as the guest food vendors that weekend.

We've visited this distillery several times since it opened but our visit on Saturday 7/15 was truly memorable. As always, the spirits and bar staff were 5 star aces. Personable, professional and informative only start the description of superlatives. The food was top notch. It was innovative, local, healthy and worked nicely with the beverages. Highlight of the day was a tour led by a rep handling the tasting room and he was aces in terms of information offered and handling questions from the attentive guests. This is a business that listens to its patrons and aims to at least please, if not exceed even the most demanding of expectations. From the cleanliness of the kitchen to the ambiance of the tasting room and politeness of the food and beverage staff, they're hitting home runs. Hope to see you there soon.

Finally got to try the new distillery and the facility was world class and the drinks were very good! However, the drinks were rather pricey for a distillery. The whole point of having a destination distillery is to have you try their alcohols and start buying their brands of gin, vodka and whiskey. Any distillery I've been to, and I've been to many, typically offer their drinks are reasonable prices since there is no middle man and you end up leaving with a couple bottles. Not here as their drink prices average $16 for a single! $18 for a single of any whisky drink! Dennings point a double is &12 despite lack of ambience. Either way, beautiful place but nothing is worth that cost for a drink.is probably give 3.5 stars but not an option. To repeat, beautiful place and great drinks but prices are ridiculous

This is a gorgeous, fun place to visit upstate, just a two hour drive from NYC. Or you can easily take the Metro North from Grand Central and it drops you off feet from the distillery at Tenmile River stop. Tenmile is a really traditional Scottish style distillery, using local, small farm New York State ingredients. You can also get great cocktails at the bar there, and they often do cool food events. Everyone is lovely, and its a perfect day for the family with the sweeping pretty apple orchard there as well.
