Black Button Distilling

Since 1922, Jason Barrett's family has provided some of the finest men's suit buttons available. For four generations these buttons have closed suits worn by Presidents, Popes, Kings, and businessmen the world over. From a young age, Jason went to work in his grandfather's factory, but it was clear he was meant for a different path. He broke tradition and decided to make whiskey. Black Button Distilling is the first grain-to-glass craft distillery in Rochester, NY since prohibition. Founded in 2012 near Rochester's historic Public Market, Black Button Distilling specializes in farm to still products, using unique and all-natural ingredients from local farms to craft 115,000 bottles of award-winning spirits each year, distributed in 11 states and Japan. As a New York State Farm Distillery, Black Button Distilling is deeply committed to crafting high quality spirits with New York State grown and produced ingredients. Over 90% of ingredients in Black Button Distilling spirits are grown or produced in New York State. All corn, wheat, rye and barley are sourced locally from Edgewood Farms in Groveland, a nearly 1,600-acre farm south of Rochester. Dairy cream for Bespoke Bourbon Cream liqueur is sourced from New York State farms and apple cider for Apple Pie Moonshine comes from LynOaken Farms in Medina.
