Saturday, June 8th — Catskill Provisions Spirits: From Claire Marin, the head distiller and beekeeper at Catskill provisions, the Pollinator Gin is distilled from NY State corn and their own wildflower honey.

It is proofed down with mineral-rich Catskill Mountain spring water to create an aromatic gin with a round, herbaceous bouquet and hints of citrus.
The Pollinator Vodka is also distilled from NY State corn and their own wildflower honey, and proofed down with that mineral-rich Catskill Mountain spring water to create a silky, round and clean Vodka, perfect for cocktails. Catskill Provisions also donates a percent of each sale to causes that protect bees and other vital pollinators. Learn more...
