Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery

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.”

“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”

A year after near-fatal crash, a distiller reflects

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.”

Behind the Scenes at Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery in the Hudson Valley

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.”
