"An R+D facility dedicated to the production of spirits that champion agriculture, anthropology, tradition and science. This describes Matchbook's clinical yet innovative approach to distilling, emphasizing research and development as central to their mission of creating spirits that honor both traditional methods and scientific experimentation."
"This is all fundamentally inefficient by design. Nothing is plugged into place here. Everything needs to be laboriously connected. We have to create our own workflow. But what that means is we can produce anything at any scale at the drop of a hat. Our production changes fundamentally, not just day-to-day, but hour-to-hour."
Matchbook Distilling in Greenport, NY functions as a research and development facility dedicated to creating innovative spirits that blend agriculture, anthropology, tradition, and science. Founded as an incubator for experimental spirit ideas, the distillery produces unique offerings including blueberry amaro, artichoke-based mezcal, still-strength soju, and smoked pineapple spirits found in world-class bars. The facility operates with deliberately inefficient design, featuring manually connected equipment and flexible workflows that enable production changes hourly. This approach allows the distillery to produce spirits at any scale while maintaining creative experimentation. Cofounder Leslie Merinoff leads the operation, which received multiple nominations for Best Distillery in the Spill Awards survey.
