Hudson Whiskey NY “Back Room Deal” Peated Scotch Barrel Finished Straight Rye  Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: There’s a bit of smoke in the air, and a soft aroma of vanilla, apricot, and brown sugar.
Palate: Take a sip, and it’s bright and fruity with black pepper and mint, rye spice mingling perfectly with smokey peat notes.
Finish: The peat lasts long on the finish, with just a little bit of sweetness.
Distillery Information
Tuthilltown Distillery is New York’s first legal distillery since the Prohibition era. It was established in 2003 by Ralph Erenzo and his partner Brian Lee in the old Tuthilltown Gristmill. They converted one of the mill granaries to a micro-distillery, and brought the tradition of small batch spirits production back to the Hudson Valley.
Through sustainable growth, the company reached the stage when the partners were approached by William Grant and Sons to sell the distillery. Instead, they negotiated the sale of the Hudson whiskey brand, while keeping the control over the product through the distillery, becoming the first craft brand to be picked up by a major house.
