New distillery is first of its kind in New York

September 01, 2019 02:46 PM

Oligan Distilling uses a high degree of automation and its owners say it's the only distillery in New York State to make high proof alcohol from New York ingredients.

Sean O'Keefe and Michael O'hara got the idea for the business while working at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

They say Oligan is the first craft beverage producer in the Colonie area.

Oligan Distilling is at 918 Albany Shaker Road in Latham.
