Up in New York, Hudson Four Grain bourbon is made using the Tuthilltown distillery's unique recipe of corn, rye, wheat and malted barley. Hold on a minute, that’s four grains - like what the name says! Tuthilltown Spirits were producers of the first legal pot-still whiskey in New York since prohibition. Four Grain is aged in small three-gallon barrels to accelerate maturation, and each bottle is numbered and wax-dipped by hand. The interaction of the four grains is intriguing and rather unique.
A re-emergence of the Rye whiskey which New York was famous for before prohibition halted its production. This is the first rye based whiskey produced in New York's Hudson valley for over 70 years. Doubled distilled in in a pot still it has been aged in small new oak casks which gives a richness of flavour to its spicy edge. Each bottle caries the year of bottling, batch number and bottle number.
Tuthilltown Spirits had the honour of producing the first legal pot-still whiskey in New York since Prohibition - Hudson Baby Bourbon! Made using 100% New York corn, the Tuthilltown folks mature the spirit in tiny 2 gallon barrels and treat it to some music. This isn't simply to entertain the whiskey as it sits stoically in a warehouse, the bass speakers agitate the cask and liquid, impacting the flavour! This is a 70cl bottling.
