River City Whisky Society
“The River City Whisky Society met April 21st for their bi-monthly meeting. 19 were in attendance. There were two things special about this meeting: First we honored a member who recently got a very prominent position with a local police department, and second, we had a representative from Major Brands give a presentation on five from the Hudson Whiskey line, and three from The Balvenie line.”

The Northeast Grainshed: 2011 Season in Review Retail Innovations and Spring 2012 Preview
Tuthilltown sourced 90% of its grains from within NY State, the majority from within 10 miles of the distillery. These grains include a variety of corn called Whapsie Valley, as well as rye varietals that were identified with the help of a seed saver in New England. As a farm distillery, Tuthilltown must be financially responsible for its crops, meaning that it leases land from partner farms and hires the farmer to grow the grains for the distillery; this arrangement provides an incentive for a farmer to grow obscure grains that may otherwise be absent from the Northeast agricultural landscape.

Hello Fellow WhiskeyLovers
“As any of you may are probably aware. May Day is related to the Celtic festival of Beltane and the Germanic festival of Walpurgis Night. Despite considerable time spent in consternation yesterday afternoon, I was unable to find a finer way to celebrate the day than to raise a glass of whiskey… and I did”

At the James, Mix Drinks in Your Room
“The tiny, tacky mini-bottles that are the mainstays of hotel minibars around the world are not for the James. Instead, the hotel equips each room’s “pantry” with 375-milliliter vessels of liquor, including international staples like Grey Goose vodka as well as local brands like Tuthilltown’s Hudson Whiskey”

“If you’re looking for something to put a little more hair on your tongue, you won’t want to miss a visit to Tuthilltown Spirits and historic gristmill in Gardiner. Before Prohibition, more than 1000 farm distillers produced alcohol from New York grains and fruits. Tuthilltown Spirits is bringing the tradition of small-batch distillation back to the Hudson Valley, distilling whiskeys which were the first legally distilled and aged grain spirits produced in New York since Prohibition. New York’s first bourbon, Hudson baby Bourbon, is distilled from 100% New York corn. The handmade spirits, which start at the farm distillery as raw grain and fruit, are made without added flavor or color and are not chill or carbon filtered.”

A Glimpse of New York in Paris
“I had lunch yesterday with my friend Julia at Septime. Correction: I had an absolutely lovely lunch with Julia at Septime. We opted for the 5-course tasting menu — an option I wouldn’t have taken without her urging and I’m delighted she insisted. Each dish was a surprise (there’s no printed menu for the tasting) and each was just the right size, that being large enough to taste everything fully and small enough to leave you happily anticipating the next plate. ”

The locals are at it again!
“I don’t always drink whiskey, but when I do…” it’s a bunch of different things. The exploration is part of the fun, the same as with gin (and maybe some other things in life). One distillery that consistently makes some of the tastiest stuff I’ve had is in Gardiner, NY – only about an hour from me. Tuthilltown Spirits makes bourbon, rye, and single malt whiskeys from locally grown grains, and vodka from local apples. I’ve sampled all of the aged spirits, and they’re magical.
