“I was invited to a special dinner for Hudson Whiskey at Big Bar and Alcove Cafe in Los Feliz a couple weeks back. The dinner included a tasting of the Hudson whiskey line from Tuthilltown Spirits as well as cocktails made from the spirits. We started off with heavy appetizers outside including smoked trout deviled eggs, mac and cheese fritters with tomato basil soup, bacon wrapped figs stuffed with goat cheese and a wonderful pecan-infused Hudson Whiskey Manhattan.”

“Although there were a number of people who popped in just for the tasting, I highly recommend taking the tour. As they are still rebuilding from a fire earlier this year, there wasn’t that much to see in terms of the production, but the story of the company as told by our tour guide, founder Ralph Erenzo, is reason enough to take it. If ever there was a story of dedication, stick-to-it-ive-ness and just plain hard work, it’s the story of Tuthilltown Spirits. Mr. Erenzo and his crew are an inspiration to small businesses everywhere. If I were to paraphrase their story here, it wouldn’t do it justice. Please, take the tour and hear for yourself.”

“About 2 months ago I attended a whiskey tasting at The Wine & Cheese Place in St. Louis featuring Tuthilltown Spirits Hudson Whiskey line. The tasting was led by Tuthilltown’s very own Gable Erenzo – the son of the founder and the brand’s leading ambassador. Over the course of the evening we sampled the entire Hudson Whiskey line which consisted of their New York Corn Whiskey, Baby Bourbon, Four Grain Bourbon, Manhattan Rye and Single Malt Whiskey. I know what your thinking and yes, it was hard work. Very hard work!”

“We’ll go out of our way to get our hands on a good bottle of liquor, especially if that involves taking a trip to a distillery. As we reported last year, a number of brands offer special spirits exclusively at their visitor centers. Here are a few more worth traveling for.”

“Ralph and I spoke at length about how important the “can do” tradition is, particularly in this economy, and how stories like his can inspire those of the current and next generation. Still, he cautions, at the end of the day, you have to have a great product. From a marketing perspective, he knew that the claim, “First whiskey distillery since Prohibition” would get them in the door, but if the product wasn’t great, people wouldn’t come back.”

“Tuthilltown is a product like no other Bourbon produced in the country. First of all, there is the unique terroir of the ingredients. I think it is the tang of the granite-laced water that makes for a most satisfying taste of the place. The rye is locally grown, as I found by driving down a lane and getting lost, from the proud farmer wandering by the side of the country lane who told me how to get to the distillery. He was thrilled to say that he grew the rye for Tuthilltown Distillery. ”
