An earth-to-glass brandy and vermouth distillery, farm, and fine dining destination set on 160+ acres atop a Claverack hillside five miles from Hudson, founded by John Frishkopf and Brett Mattingly. The estate cultivates 60 acres of vineyards and apple orchards under sustainable methods, with views stretching to the Catskills. Flagship aged apple and grape brandies are distilled in a 2,500-liter Alembic Charentais pot still imported from Cognac, then matured in French oak barrels inside the timber-framed chai. Un-oaked eaux de vie are distilled in a bespoke 500-liter Mueller copper still from Oberkirch, Germany. The name "Klocke" — Middle Dutch for "clock" — honors the patience required to make great brandy. Guided distillery tours, brandy tastings, and an a-la-carte seasonal restaurant.
