“New York’s Tuthilltown Spirits and Death’s Door of Wisconsin are the first to land at Gomer’s Midtown and other Missouri retailers (sorry, Kansas). Tuthilltown’s Hudson New York Corn Whiskey is handmade from corn grown by farms near the distillery. Some is bottled straight from the still, while the rest goes into charred new oak barrels to eventually become Hudson Baby Bourbon. “We didn’t start out to make corn whiskey,” distiller and co-owner Ralph Erenzo said. “We started out to make an aged spirit, but when we tasted this, we thought it was so extraordinary, so new and different.”
