Allen Katz (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/nydistilleryman/">Instagram</a>) founded the New York Distilling Company (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.nydistilling.com/">website</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/nydistilling">Instagram</a>) in 2011. He was in the industry for many years before this and during a trip to the town of Plymouth, England to visit the Plymouth Gin Distillery, Allen was overcome by the urban location of the distillery. Many historic distilleries were often located in the countryside to be near the produce when it was harvested from farms. As a proud resident of New York City, this left him wondering if this might be possible in New York. Since its beginning, NYDC has focused on distilling products with historic ties to New York, specifically gin and rye whiskey.Do you know someone who might enjoy this? Please share it.Not long into the running of the distillery, Allen found himself at <a target="_blank" href="https://cals.cornell.edu/">Cornell’s College of Agriculture</a> discussing grains with historical ties to the region. He was later sent 10 seeds in a white envelope called Horton Rye. After years of cultivating these seeds into an amount that could be field tested, 14 years later they now have a rye whiskey called <a target="_blank" href="https://jaywalkrye.com/">Jaywalk Rye</a>.
