About the company
A little distillery in upstate New York making hand-crafted absinthes in a 45 gallon Christian Carl pot still. Located in Walton, New York along the Delaware River in the Western Catskills, evokes images of moonshine made along the banks of country streams in days gone past, however, Delaware Phoenix is a legitimate distillery licensed by the Federal and State governments.
My absinthes use the finest herbs from the US, Italy and Turkey. The grand wormwood, Roman wormwood, hyssop, and lemon balm is hand harvested at the peak of perfection at small family farms upstate New York. I import the fennel directly from a seed production grower in Italy, and the ansie seed comes from Turkey.
Delaware Phoenix is pretty close to a one-person operation. I'm just an old woman making booze. :-) There's only a couple hundred cases a year total for all my products. It's all done by hand. You should come up and see some time. The 19th century still lives on at Delaware Phoenix, with a few nods to 21st century pot still technology.
