1911 Established Vodka

1911 Established vodka begins with growing apples and pressing cider, Peter Fleckenstein told Brew Central. He described fermenting that cider and putting it through the still with the company’s own recipe.

How the Beak & Skiff orchard began

George Skiff and Andrew Beak started Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards in 1911 in the hills and valleys of Lafayette, New York, the brand's website says. A Brew Central profile adds the story of two families meeting at a Syracuse market and deciding to grow apples: one had been a potato farmer and the other had hillside land.

Peter Fleckenstein described how each generation added a different part of the business. The first planted trees; the second added a packing line, trucking, shipping, and distribution. The third and fourth developed the cider mill, while the fifth moved into spirits, he told Brew Central.

From orchard fruit to 1911 Established spirits

Beak & Skiff debuted cider and spirits in the early 2000s, according to Brew Central's 2020 profile. 1911 Established Distillery is a division of Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards, the distillery's own website says.

1911 Established vodka has a sweet finish, according to head distiller Ed O'Brien in a 2025 Chilled Magazine profile. He also outlined plans to expand to other states after concentrating sales in upstate New York. O'Brien also described developing flavored vodkas intended for a single large cube of ice in the Chilled Magazine profile.

The orchard behind the bar

Windows behind the distillery bar overlook the orchard and the rolling valley, the distillery page says. O'Brien is identified there as head distiller, and visitors might find him mixing a cocktail, according to the page.

Its address is 2708 Lords Hill Road in LaFayette, New York, according to the brand's home page.
