Murray's Fools Distilling Co. is a New York state farm distillery. The distillery’s identity is based on the story of MFDC founders’ great great grandfather, W.H.H. Murray (Adirondack Murray), who authored and published 'Adventures in the Wilderness' in 1869. This book was written to share his love and knowledge of the wilderness. To continue this love and to inspire adventure and exploration, MFDC creates small batch distilled spirits fashioned for those who live for nature's quiet moments and freedom of self.

From finding an old still in the attic of an Adirondack camp, opening a tasting room, developing our products, production, labeling, and finally offering it to the community, it's been a long, hands on journey not for the faint at heart and not without the support of family and friends. Our learning and development continued until we found the right location to start the distillery, the no longer used Rector Fire Station, in Glenville, NY. After the long approval process we closed on the building in September 2017 and with the help of the Glenville Local Economic Development Corporation we began to source our equipment. In February, 2018 we opened our New York tasting room, selling only New York State produced spirits, wine, cider and craft beer. In March of 2018 we purchased our 300 gallon steam jacketed still and by May 2018 we started producing spirits. Our first product out was our Gateway American Whiskey in October 2018, then our Tow Rope Gin in November 2018, the our Black Rock Bourbon Whiskey in December and finally our Clinton's Folly Muleshine in March 2019. Since finding that still in 2006 to having our products on the shelf in 2019 the trials and tribulations have been endless. Now after years of hard work, late nights and sacrifice we are proud to share our carefully handcrafted spirits, made from the best ingredients grown by local farmers and supported by the community, in "The Spirit of New York". Please stop by for a visit. Cheers.
