The Manhattan’s Manhattan and The Dusty Baker “Unplugged”

Manhattan in Manhattan!  The one above wasn’t constructed as the one I’d shake for her.  It would be as local to NYC as possible with my beloved Hudson Baby Bourbon and some insane artisanal Brooklyn-made Bittermans Bitters to rock the house.

Local Spirits

Chefs Consortium

“Ralph Erenzo and partner Brian Lee started the Tuthilltown Spiritsmicro-distillery in 2001 in a converted mill granary in Gardiner, NY. More than two years later the two introduced their first vodka. Spirit of the Hudson Vodkais distilled from locally sourced apple cider that is fermented and distilled to 191 proof. “

Aged Cocktails: the Vieux Carré

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.”

Tuthilltown Spirits: A Field Trip

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.”

Gift Listed

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.”

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.
