Four Fights Distilling
About the distillery
Four Fights Distilling is located in Corning, NY and presents itself as the oldest distillery in town. The name is drawn from the moonshine tradition "four fights to a pint" and signals an ambition for quality. The distillery runs a tasting room in town with set opening hours and communicates directly with the local community via a VIP club and an online shop.
History
Origin of the name and positioning
The name Four Fights stems from a traditional moonshine valuation: on a scale from 1 to 4 the number indicated how strong and pure a pint was. A rating of 4 was the best, and the distillery has chosen the name to mark a dedication to quality and tradition. On its website, the distillery describes itself as "Corning’s Oldest Distillery" and relates its name directly to this local historical reference.
