In a significant leap forward, Montauk Distilling Company (MDC), a renowned craft distillery based in Riverhead, NY, has announced an expansion of its distribution capabilities into New York and New Jersey through a partnership with the family-owned importer and wholesaler, Cellier Wines Distributing. This strategic collaboration, effective immediately, aims to broaden MDC's market presence in these crucial regions.

MDC has been a staple in the craft distillery scene since its inception in 2013, gaining a reputation for its high-quality spirits and commitment to local ingredients. By partnering with Cellier Wines, MDC is positioning itself to tap into the extensive networks of loyal customers that Cellier has cultivated over the years. Tom Joyce, a partner at MDC, highlighted the seamless transition and the immediate benefits of working with Cellier, emphasizing the enhanced reach and dynamic footprint this partnership provides.

The expansion is not just limited to a distribution partnership; MDC is also reinforcing its growth strategy by investing in additional sales personnel. This move underlines the company’s commitment to not only maintain but also bolster its market presence in New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Florida, where it already has a foothold.

In a celebration of this growth, MDC is also pleased to announce that its signature drink, Modico Vodka, is now featured as a special cocktail at the prestigious Classic Car Club of New York, located at Pier 76 on the West Side Highway. Enthusiasts can also find Modico Vodka served at the iconic Brasserie in Grand Central Station and several other esteemed venues across New York City.

Joyce expressed pride in their flagship offerings, often referring to Modico Vodka and Montauk Gin as the “MVPs” of their product lineup. He claims that Montauk Gin is arguably the best tasting gin produced in America, alongside a diverse selection of bourbons and rums. This extensive array of beverages draws customers to their Riverhead tasting room throughout the year, turning casual visitors into loyal patrons.

MDC operates on a customer-centric model, ensuring that their award-winning spirits are accessible through various distributors, including Cellier Wines in New York, McLaughlin and Moran in Rhode Island, and Community Craft Spirits in Florida. Additionally, customers can purchase their spirits online at Montauk Distilling’s website.

Montauk Distilling Company is more than just a distillery; it embodies the culture and spirit of the Montauk area. Known locally as “The End”, Montauk has a rich history and vibrant community that MDC takes pride in representing. The distillery embraces traditional distillation methods while infusing modern flavors, using locally-sourced botanicals to create unique, flavorful spirits that reflect Montauk’s heritage.

The distillery also plays an active role in the Riverhead community by fostering a family-friendly environment that invites locals and visitors alike to enjoy not only their fine spirits but also live music and educational tours that delve into the history of both the distillery and the site’s previous incarnation as a firehouse.

In conclusion, Montauk Distilling Company’s strategic expansion into New York and New Jersey through Cellier Wines Distributing is exciting news for the craft spirits community.
