Krooked Tusker Distillery is a proud producer of award-winning bourbons, gins, and vodkas. They have so many offerings on the products page of their website! Go for classics like blueberry or peach vodka or more unique flavorings like “A Horse is a Horse” vodka (horseradish infused) or ImbuVo Joe Vodka (coffee infused).
There are also some specialty spirits at the distillery! Have you tried absinthe before? If not, now’s your chance—sip on “The Ire of Aphrodite,” an absinthe verte. For something sweet, try “The Wild Ones,” a fortified dessert wine.
Many of the spirits at the distillery are award-winning! Krooked Tusker’s Sleepless in S. Pulteney Barrel Rested Gin has been voted a Double Gold Medal winner at the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, so it’s a pretty big deal. This honor was also bestowed upon the QKA Kismet Vodka.
