The sign for the distillery caught out eye while passing through the little town of Lisle on our way to Ithaca so we made a point to stop there on the next day of our adventures. Happy we did. The tasting was limited to a rye and a bourbon but they were both smooth and very good. Ended up buying a bottle of each. The owner, Phil French, entertained us for close to an hour with stories of his prior career, connections with celebrities, fishing and his family. Fun experience in a small, upstate NY town! Stop in if you're ever passing through the area.

We arrived at 8h30pm and Phil was still waiting for us. He got his whiskeys out for the tasting even if it was closed.Phil is a very nice ? guy and he talk about the history of his ancestors and showed us the book that John French wrote. We always loved earing stories about ancestors and how they started their lives in North America.Phil is a wonderful host and we really appreciated his hospitality last night friday 27 may 2022.

Saw the sign while driving back home to Philly and stopped. Enjoyed an outdoor tasting and hearing about the distillery. Great local stop- picked up a bottle of bourbon and rye to enjoy at home.

Stopped by for an outdoor tasting of French's young and aged whiskeys and bourbons. Interesting to see how the liquors evolve by comparative tasting. Lilah's lightning has a kick!

Very cool place. Saw a sign on the way to Ithaca "Distillery Tastings Open" Phil owns the place and poured the tastings. It was a history lesson and spirits. The first women to vote in NY State did so about 1/4 mile from the distillery. Talk about historical. I'm glad we took in French Distillers and Alchemist it's a neat place with good tasty spirits and mucho bits of local and US know My advice is to stop by and enjoy.

Just on a whim, we stopped off in Lisle and accidentally stumbled on this hidden gem. We met Phil French,the manager, who came outside to invite us in go a taste of some of his first batch bourbon whiskey. After a taste test and a presentation of the history of his family, we puchased a bottle to add to my collection. It's worth stopping there when you're in the area.
