In addition to having the best label and bottle design ever, these lovely whiskeys come with an interesting backstory. They are crafted in very small batches in the Hudson valley by the first whiskey distillery to operate in New York State since prohibition. We have all sorts of cocktail recipes that call for rye - but we've been enjoying the rye by itself so much we haven't wanted to mix it with anything. Same goes for the four grain bourbon, which is very rich and a tiny bit smoky but not cloyingly sweet like some mass produced varieties. The rye tastes crisper and cleaner than the bourbon, but both are so arrestingly delicious they deserve to be contemplated, appreciated, and sipped very slowly. I have granted Hudson Whiskeys permanent residency in our home bar. I hope we can always have this stuff around (though we might have to hide it from certain guests. . . these small bottles don't last very long).

Thank you karin for your kind words about our whiskeys. You're welcome to arrange a visit sometime if you and some of your readers would like to come see how real whiskey is made. Oh, and tell them to be on the lookout for our latest release, replacing our Old Gristmill Corn Whiskey, we are rebottling as: HUDSON NEW YORK CORN WHISKEY, boosted proof to 46% and available in our apothecary bottles.
