Hudson New York Corn Whiskey (92 proof, $35 for 375 ml) is made from 100% New York corn and has a nose of wet concrete and buttery popcorn. Its heritage corn taste has deep earthy tones, not as sweet as other corn whiskeys, with more savory flavors like corn bread and corn roasted in the husk notes. It has a nice finish with some good heat and a nice long tail with excellent flavor that is exceptionally smooth and focused.
Technical Notes Located in the Hudson Valley, about two hours away from New York City in a town called Gardiner, Tuthilltown Spirits is another fantastic micro-distillery using local grains, small batch distilling and a hand-crafted process that ensures each bottle of spirit they produce is the best it can be.
