“Tuthilltown Spirits, which distills Hudson Whiskey, was the first distillery to open in New York State since the days of Prohibition.
Ralph Erenzo and Brian Lee started the business over 10 years ago but spent the first couple of years figuring out how to make whiskey as neither of them had any professional experience in the trade. They welded, mashed and experimented until they knew they had something special on their hands.
The distillery created New York’s first bourbon ever, Hudson Baby Bourbon, and has now expanded to produce a variety of whiskeys and vodkas.”
