Maple Syrup Bourbon Milkshake and Tuthilltown Distillery

After a visit to Tuthilltown Distillery, I came home armed with the knowledge to pair maple syrup and bourbon together. Whoever originally thought to do this may just be the smartest person alive. This combination had to be shared with the world and I thought, what better way than in milkshake form?

We took a tour of the distillery for Joe’s birthday. We got to see a bit of the process of making bourbon and where all the processing happens. At the end of the tour there was a tasting and that’s where we happened upon the magic of bourbon and maple syrup.

Sophisticated ‘Hooch’: The Ultimate Guide to Legal Moonshine

luz — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:44:10 +0000

What is Moonshine?

The traditional definition of moonshine is any liquor, from whiskey to vodka, that is distilled in an unlicensed distillery. Most moonshine is made from corn, though. The illegally made version is sometimes referred to as “white lightning” or “hooch,” in part due to its high alcohol content of around 150 proof, and partly due to the fact that taxes aren’t paid on it.

“After wanting to visit for many years Lynn and I finally got to to visit the first distillery to open in NY in over 80 years namely Tuthilltown Spirits upstate in Gardiner, New York. We had tried some of the initial offerings on Long Island like the Baby Bourbon Whiskey and were suitably impressed with the flavor which was smooth but with a subtle, pleasant burn that many of the commercial whiskeys unfortunately lack.”

Top 5 new rye whiskeys

Fox News

“Bourbon has been the whiskey poster child of America since Prohibition ended in 1933. Corn was cheap, abundant, and made whiskey taste a little sweeter, which covered up some of the crude distilling practices of the time. However, the glorious 2010′s have marked a turn in taste for alcohol. More and more people are realizing they don’t have to drink from the rivers of bourbon, and can instead dabble in the smaller, artisan creeks of rye whiskeys. And now you’ve finished reading our ode to non-corn beverages, let’s get our drink on with these five delicious new ryes!”

A Tax Day Story For Hard Cider Lovers

“New York is the second-largest apple producer in the country, and there’s no doubt it should be at the core of the hard-cider industry, which is rapidly growing in popularity,” says Schumer. “However, current federal tax rules make it extremely costly for Capital Region producers and consumers alike to produce, market and sell this product, which could prevent New York’s hundreds of apple growers and hard cider producers from fully benefiting from the stable income that comes with this new product.”
