Tuthilltown Spirits Hudson Four Grain Bourbon (350ml)

When Brian Lee and Ralph Erenzo founded 'Tuthilltown', New York's first whiskey distillery since Prohibition, it was with a gung-ho, can-do attitude: "If there are people with half a kindergarten education and no teeth back in the mountains who have figured this out" declared Ralph Erenzo, "We can do it." After a half million dollar investment and jumping through countless legal hoops, the distillery based at the Tuthilltown Gristmill (a National Historic site built in 1788) is now producing excellent small batch, 'hand made' Bourbon, Corn & Rye whiskies. Where possible, local ingredients are employed, with double distillation taking place in a small copper pot still, followed by maturation in tiny American oak casks.

Tasting notes: Produced from Corn, Rye, Wheat and Malted Barley. Another delicious Tuthilltown nose - reminiscent of cereal and a combination of fresh citrus and dried fruit, toasted nuts with a suggestion of pine cone. Slightly richer and broader palate than the Baby Bourbon, and certainly less dry with cereal and dried fruit flavours emerging. Firm prickly finish. Ample aftertaste of dried fruit, nuts and spice. 46.0% Alc./Vol.
