What’s the secret to the best tasting spirits?
The secret to any great spirit is the quality of the water used in the distilling process. Water sources, and their unique attributes, have a huge impact on the specific flavors and qualities of spirits from around the globe. CDSs water source has been protected for over 175 years.
New York’s drinking water remains world-renowned for its quality.
Water from the Croton watershed — historically the cradle of New York’s supply of fresh, clean water.
Croton on Hudson, located on the shores of the Hudson River 30 miles north of New York City, is home to the historic Croton watershed and Croton dam supplying the cleanest water to NYC since 1842.
