Neversink Gin

Neversink Spirits was founded by Noah Braunstein and Yoni Rabino, lifelong friends united by their shared passions for spirits, wine, food, and the great outdoors. After years of tasting, experimenting, and planning, they discovered a project that perfectly encapsulated their interests – thus, Neversink Spirits was born. For Noah and Yoni, crafting spirits is not just a profession, but a calling. Apples serve as their muse, and through Neversink, they've found the ideal platform to share their vision with enthusiasts.

Drawing inspiration from the esteemed European traditions of Calvados and eau de vie, as well as the diverse global styles of gin, the duo at Neversink melds old-world techniques with innovative domestic approaches. The result is a distinctive range of spirits that proudly spotlight the local fruit of New York State.

For their flagship spirit, Neversink Gin, a single-estate 100% NY apple base spirit is macerated with juniper berries overnight. The next day, this juniper-infused base undergoes distillation with a full spectrum of eleven botanicals: juniper, coriander, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon, orris root, angelica root, elderflower, fresh orange peel, fresh lemon peel, and fresh grapefruit peel. The outcome is a nuanced and refined gin, where warm baking spices and zesty citrus beautifully complement the apple foundation.

Neversink Spirits' collection also includes a revered but limited line of eaux de vie, brandies, and aperitifs, all crafted from 100% New York-grown fruit and released seasonally. Among these, Neversink Spirits Apple Brandy stands out, offering a fresh and aromatic representation of a blend of iconic New York apple varieties.
