Hudson Baby Bourbon

, , , ,

Traditionally, American whiskey has two homes, not far apart: Kentucky and Tennessee. Tuthilltown Spirits don’t seem to care. They have a product line of seven whiskies made in New York. So, how does the Empire State’s offerings stand up? If you’re a Kentucky traditionalist, there are going to be some flavors you’re not used to. First, Hudson Baby Bourbon is a 100% corn bourbon, as opposed the average 80% corn of most bourbons. That makes it a bit fruitful and a touch sweet. It also makes it very mellow, as opposed to other young bourbons. Added to the sweet tastes is a nice strong peppery spice; something that will divide drinkers. Overall, it certainly is a refreshing addition to the bourbon experience. I can easily see this as being an arguing point for many bourbon fans, but I think it is an amazing offering from an unlikely place.

Straight

With most bourbons, I enjoy them straight and with a mixer. This one is a bit different. I overwhelmingly prefer it straight. The flavors are very unique and are very enjoyable. Through a couple ice cubes in a glass, pour up and enjoy.

Mixed

As I said above, I really prefer this straight. It's unique flavors are quickly hidden under the flavors of a mixer, disguising it as a typical, generic bourbon. It deserves more than that.

Price: $43.50

Worthy: 8.5/10

    I want to try it straight. Is it only sold in NY?

    No, it is available in other states as well, but it might be a bit hard to find. This should help: http://tuthilltown.com/where-to-buy/

    Do you think it is worth the price tag? At $43, it is $10 more than Woodford Reserve (maybe more, depending on where you are getting Woodford), and even more than Templeton Rye. Would you say the quality of Hudson is superior to either of those offerings?

    The price is a bit steep, but I certainly think it holds it’s ground. If I could afford it all the time, I can’t say I’d buy it regularly, but I will certainly buy it again on occasion.

    Woodford is a great product, and the cheaper price tag certainly makes it more desirable. I’d say give Hudson a try if you looking for something new, but don’t expect to be find a new regular.
