Our Barrel Aged Cocktail kits are a big hit. Take a look at this great blog about what has been put together in our cocktail aging kits. Here is a quick preview:
“And now, making it easier to DIY, Tuthilltown Spirits, who I visited a few weeks ago and who also supplied Morgenthaler with his first batch of barrels, have come out with the cocktail aging bottle. That’s right, a glass bottle (the same one they use for their bourbons, in fact) with a piece of used oak barrel inside. When I saw these, I racked my brain for who would think they were as cool as I did and actually use them, so I could buy as many as possible as gifts. Unfortunately, the list was short. And so for my less cocktail-savvy (and extremely lucky) friends, I made individual bottles of aged Vieux Carrés as this year’s homemade holiday present.”

A great weekend trip to Tuthilltown Spirits. Here is a quick preview.
“Next up was the bottling room. It looked like something out of the I Love Lucy episode when Lucy works in a chocolate factory. Old school conveyor belt contraption and everything, including a hand dipping station for the wax that coats the tops of the bottles. And if I worked there for a day I’d probably end up just like Lucy, but drunk and covered in booze instead of chocolates.”

What Brand Ambassador Gable Erenzo suggests for gifts.
“Gable Erenzo – Tuthilltown
To be honest, the relationship a brand builds with the bartending community, the Gatekeepers, is key to the success or failure of any new brand. For Hudson, the relationships we have forged, and the brand acceptance we have gained within the national bartending community is likely the largest factor in the rapid growth and success of the brand. Even though many of our friends in the cocktailing industry do not use Hudson as a de facto spirit in cocktails, they still have embraced the brand and hand sell it whenever possible, similar to how they do with super premium scotches, cognacs and brandies.”

“In addition to the literally hundreds of imported brands, there also are numerous other such spirits available in both the Albany and Connecticut markets that could have been used: Bee Vodka from Hidden Marsh Distillery at Montezuma Winery in Seneca Falls, NY; LiV Vodka from Long Island Spirits in Baiting Hollow, NY; Stoutridge Vineyard Vodka made from grapes at the Marlboro, NY, facility; Heart of the Hudson Vodka from Tuthilltown Spirits in Gardiner, NY.”

Check out this blog written on our new ” Barrel Aging Kits” sold only at Tuthilltown Spirits. This makes a great gift. Here is a quick preview.
“I love my pop. He has a knack for giving surprising gifts, sometimes spot-on, sometimes hilariously odd. He once got me a popcorn maker, one of those old-timey miniature red ones you’d see in a vintage cinema. This Christmas, he hit the nail on the head with a Barrel Aged Cocktail Kit, including bottle with oak stave and custom made 1 liter barrel from Tuthilltown Spirits.

A blog about a visit to the distillery. The pictures that were taken are amazing. Below is a quick preview.
“This past weekend (the first that actually felt like winter), was spent with great friends upstate. We took a trip to Gardiner to visit Tuthilltown Spirits – New York’s first whiskey distillery since prohibition. I thought I knew quite a bit about whiskey but apparently I did not. A tour of the facilities uncovered a few myths about the business – like the fact that bourbon need not come from Kentucky. It was fascinating to hear about the origins of a relatively new company and to see the process of an artisanal product from start to finish.”

Great gift ideas mentioned on the radio and we were mentioned, how cool is that. Quick preview below.
“And to drink while you’re in your comfy chair with JJ’s book, a bottle of Hudson Manhattan Rye Whiskey. I did not think I was a rye fan — I’m strictly a single-malt Scotch/small-batch bourbon guy — but this stuff, made in a small upstate NY distillery, is great. (Their bourbon is really good too.) Drink it straight”

We have a lot to be thankful for. Here is a quick preview of a great blog written by William Dowd.
“It’s been nearly a year since my little run-in with an inhospitable maple and its companion boulder on the way home just before Christmas. The doctors told me the recovery, miraculous as it is, would take another year or so. In spite of the extensive injuries, after some time in rehabilitation I’m walking and talking and can’t wait to get out on the road again to see you all.”

Check out this really great blog on a visit to our distillery. Here is a quick preview.
“There was no how-to-distill manual for Ralph Erenzo when he started what would become Tuthilltown Spirits in 2006. There was so little published about microdistilling at the time that he spent two and a half years with his business partner Brian Lee, experimenting with a furnace (purchased on e-Bay) and a German pot-still (no instructions included). They used apple scraps from a nearby apple-slicing plant in the Hudson Valley to produce their first batches of vodka.”
