Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Hudson Do The Rye Thing wraps your senses in a warm, spicy embrace, with vibrant notes of cracked black pepper and caramelized orange peel dancing across the palate. Crafted in the United States with an ABV of 46.00%, this rye whiskey delivers a bold yet balanced profile, where hints of toasted grain and vanilla mingle seamlessly with subtle undertones of dried fruit. Its lively character makes it an inspired companion for a charcuterie board or smoked salmon, as the whiskey’s peppery edge cuts through rich flavors while its gentle sweetness lingers just long enough to invite another taste.

Producer Information: Tuthilltown Spirits

Tuthilltown Spirits, nestled in the Hudson Valley of New York, began its journey in 2003 when Ralph Erenzo and Brian Lee transformed a historic gristmill into the state’s first whiskey distillery since Prohibition. Embracing a farm-to-bottle philosophy, they source grains from local farms and employ traditional small-batch methods that highlight the region’s agricultural character. Their innovative approach to aging spirits in smaller barrels accelerates maturation while imparting distinctive flavors unique to their upstate terroir. Beyond their celebrated whiskeys, Tuthilltown crafts artisanal gins and vodkas that reflect the same commitment to local ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship, establishing them as pioneers within New York’s craft spirits scene.
