Hudson Baby Bourbon Whiskey

“There were dozens of bourbon vendors, but mostly, I stuck with beer, especially the dark and hoppy ones. There were great commercial brews like Guinness Extra Stout, Harpoon IPA, Magic Hat #9, Abita Purple Haze. But I really enjoyed the microbrews, like SixpointDiesel, Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale, and Ommegang. Big up also to Long Island’s best beer: Blue Point. In bourbons, my favorite was Hudson Baby Bourbon. Displayed on their counter were blue, glass eye-dropper bottles that were filled with water so that imbibers could open up the flavors of their bourbon with a few drips. (Here’s my one criticism of Hudson Baby Bourbon: Why not open it up with a few drops of bacon grease?) For dessert, I had Maker’s Mark ice cream.”

Soothing winter’s punch

Drink more bourbon – a resolution we can get behind. The kind folks over at Tuthilltown help us stick to our New Year’s vow with an indulgent cocktail laced with a hint of vanilla and sweet malt. Served hot or cold, either way warms the heart.

Rhum J.M.-Half Moon Bay Gin and Royal Rose “Rose” Syrup

This Gin is unlike any other on the market. I’d hasten to say that there aren’t too many Gins on the market that are made with apples and wheat.

Have you ever heard of it?

The Half Moon Bay Gin tastes like a dreamboat flowing up the river against the current. Slow and low. The boat belonged to Henry Hudson. It was named the Half Moon Bay.

RECAP: HUDSON WHISKEY DINNER AT BIG BAR

“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.”

Hudson Shop

“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.”

Hudson Baby Bourbon Review

“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!”
