My wife and I like to do Finger Lakes wine tours at least 5 or 6 times a year or so, and we will usually stop at one of the breweries when we have a chance also.
Last week we went to Seneca Lake, and we stopped at fairly new place - Finger Lakes Distilling, which is kind of unique for the area. If you're ever in the Finger Lakes, I'd recommend stopping by. They're a small-batch distillery of vodka, gin, whiskey and grappa, plus a few others. They even do a corn whiskey named "Glen Thunder" after the nearby Watkins Glen racetrack. They're really nice folks, and actually fairly generous with their tastings.
I'm not a big fan of whiskey, so I bypassed that to start with the vodka which was very smooth! I also had their gin (my drink of choice when I don't grab a beer) and it was wonderful, very unique - so I picked up a bottle. For the season they were also sampling several berry liquers and a Maplejack (which I believe is applejack made with maple syrup) very very tasty, straight or mixed with hot apple cider, as they offered it both ways.
Here's a short review I found online http://www.spiritsreview.com/reviews-liqueur-fld-maplejack.html
