Hudson Baby Bourbon

Hudson Baby Bourbon was the first New York aged whiskey produced since Prohibition and therefore New York’s first ever bourbon. This bourbon is produced with 100% Empire State corn and more importantly this corn is sourced all within a 10 mile radius of the Tuthilltown Distillery. The taste of the Hudson Baby Bourbon is expressively woody, superbly smoky, with mellow notes of vanilla and caramel.

Producing the Baby Bourbon is done in a few process. First the corn is harvest and then dried. It is then grinded and then water is added for cooking and the mash is fermenting. It is left to mature in small charred New American Oak Barrels. With using small barrels mean more wood contact which gives the Baby Bourbon its rich, oaky smoky flavour.

Hudson Manhattan Rye

In the making of Hudson Manhattan Rye the distillery again supports the use of local farming when sourcing the rye required to make Mahattan Rye and 90% of the rye required would be sourced locally, so supporting the local farmers.

The method of making this rye whiskey has also brough back small-batch distilling to the state of New York after this method disappear after Prohibition.

The taste of this Manhattan Rye is Vibrantly bold, spicy and backwoods rustic, with a smidgen of honey and coconut and in one that has to be on your shopping list if you like your rye whiskeys.

This bourbon is matured in small new American oak barrels giving plenty of wood contact during the maturing process and leading to a depth, character and a warm soothing finish. All working in perfect harmony for a rich, full-flavored spirit. Appetizingly balanced, rich and peppery with a comforting warm, soothing finish.
