Distillery: Myer Farm Distillers

John Myer is the current steward of the Myer Family Farm and has been successfully nurturing and managing the land for over 35 years. Last year, Myer grew 240 acres of corn, 290 acres of soybeans and almost 100 acres of various wheat varieties, including triticale, spelt, barley and oats. Inspired by the traditional distilleries of Scotland, Myer teamed up with his brother, Joe, and began constructing a distillery on Military Lot No. 5 in 2011. The distillery was outfitted with a hip-roofed and pagoda-topped still-house and was finished in hand-cut chiseled wall stone, in homage to Scottish malthouses. The Myers also equipped their distillery with a 650-liter, Christian Carl copper-pot still that is accented with a 19-plate rectification column, giving the brothers unparallelled control over the distillation process. John Myer Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash of corn, rye and malted barley harvested exclusively from the Myer Family Farm. Once Myer harvests the grains, he mills and mashes them before distilling the wash through his copper-pot still. Then, the bourbon is matured for just over one year before being bottled by hand.

Distillery Information

After the Revolutionary War, the town of Ovid (population 612) was among a group of towns in central New York that were divided into Military Tract Townships. In 1810, the Myer Family began farming land in Ovid and since 1868, the family’s farm has been situated on land that was originally part of Military Lot No. 13.
