Hudson Baby Bourbon is the first legal pot-still whiskey to be produced in New York since prohibition! In the days before prohibition farm distillers could be found throughout the state of New York and Tuthilltown are doing their bit to put New York back on the whiskey map with this classic bourbon, full of caramel and sweet vanilla notes, it is made from 100% New York corn. Aged in tiny 2 gallon barrels, the spirit is 'sonically matured' with the help of bass speakers that agitate the cask and the liquid! Each bottle is then hand-filled, waxed and numbered, without the use of carbon or chill filtration. Gold Outstanding Medal - International Wine & Spirits Competition 2013
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.
Woodford Reserve's annual “Master's Collection” release is produced in honor of Woodford's early 1800s distillery owner Oscar Pepper and master distiller James Crow. Its 1838 Style White Corn, the tenth release in the series, replaces the typical yellow corn used for bourbon with a white corn, along with other grains.
Suntory Royal blended whisky was first introduced in 1960 to mark the company's 60th anniversary. Light and easy to drink, this is a superb entry-level Japanese whisky.
Another reliable release from Jim Beam, which according to the company, has been distilled in a pre-Prohibition style. As most Rye whiskeys, this one isn’t afraid to make its presence known on your taste buds. Rye whiskeys have notoriously been considered as a whiskey thatis ‘not for everyone’, and the Jim Beam Rye falls comfortably under that description. For the ones who love it, there could be nothing better but for the ones that don’t like it, they might never really develop an affinity for it.

Maker’s Mark 46 is a Kentucky straight Bourbon with no-age-statement. This wheat bourbon is the brainchild of Bill Samuels Jr., son of Bill and Margie Samuels, the founders of Maker’s Mark. Released in 2010, The Maker’s Mark 46 was the first new recipe created at the distillery since production first began in 1953.Bill & Margie Samuels named the whisky ‘46’ since it was the file number of the French Oak staves that they used to ‘finish’ their Bourbon, drawing out the influence from the wood. Maker’s Mark are also one of the select few American whiskey brands that prefer to use ‘whisky’, dropping the ‘E’.
