I was interested in finding out more. I wasn't having too much luck finding out where it was, so when we stopped at Hudson-Chatham Winery one day to pick up some wine for Vonadeau, I asked Carlo if he knew of the distillery. Of course he did
and gave us the website for Tuthilltown Distillery, where I went as soon as I had the chance and got Ralph Erenzo's number.
Ralph is one of the partners at Tuthilltown Spirits in Gardiner, New York,
where the distillers are bringing back traditional bath-distilled spirits,
an exciting development.
I called Ralph and explained to him that I have a small wine and spirits shop in upstate New York and was interested in his spirits. Ralph and I talked for awhile, and he encouraged me to come to the distillery for a tour.
So Richard and I decided to take a long weekend in August to go to the Hudson Valley Region to meet with Ralph and also visit a few of the wineries in the area.
We stayed at a wonderful B&B called The Inn at Twaalfskill, the perfect place for a summer weekend.
When we arrived at the distillery, Ralph took us on a tour and introduced us to the team members who were there. Everyone was accommodating and pleasant; their enthusiasm was infectious.
Ralph showed us all around and explained how everything is done all the way from gathering the grain, distilling the spirits,
to the bottling and labeling.

Of course last but not least came the tasting! Ralph poured generous samples of their spirits, and we greedily drank them all! We bought a mixed case of bourbon, whiskey, and rye to start off with in the shop and have had to replenished our inventory a couple of times since.
HUDSON BABY BOURBON is the first bourbon whiskey to be distilled in New York.
This single grain bourbon is made from 100% New York corn and aged in special small American Oak barrels.
This unique aging process produces a mildly sweet, smooth spirit with hints of vanilla and caramel. The BABY is Tuthilltown’s first whiskey and the first legal pot-distilled whiskey made in New York since prohibition.
BABY BOURBON is a perfect introduction to aged whiskey spirits. It is mild and friendly, bright to the tongue and warming all the way down. Perfect for a cold winter's night,
it would make a delicious and unique present for your Valentine.
Each bottle is hand waxed and numbered.
It is a true American classic.
The BABY is their most sought after spirit and is just one of the spirits you can sample if you
join us at the shop on Saturday, February 6th from 3:30-6:30pm.
Jason Santora will be more than happy to pour you the different samples to sip, savor, and enjoy!
