A taste of Prohibition with Tuthilltown Spirits rye whiskey

One way to kick back now that the weekend is almost here is with a nice strong glass of rye whiskey and what better way to get a real flavor of the Prohibition Era than that with Tuthilltown Spirits’ Hudson Manhattan rye whiskey.

This strong spirit was the foundation for the legendary Manhattan cocktail. For more than 80 years, rye had not been produced in New York until Tuthilltown Spirits’ introduced the Hudson Manhattan rye whiskey. This rye is made from whole grain rye in small batches – one at a time. It is bottled at 92 proof and has a nice floral yet smooth taste.

We love the design of each bottle - hand capped, waxed and numbered – so you know each bottle was made and poured with special care. Before Prohibition more than 1,000 farm distillers produced alcohol from New York grains and fruits.  Tuthilltown Spirits brings the tradition of small batch distillation back to the Hudson Valley, distilling whiskeys which were the first legally distilled and aged grain spirits produced in New York since Prohibition.

The company also produces Hudson Baby Bourbon distilled from 100 percent New York corn. Tuthilltown Spirits also distills vodkas from apples grown at orchards less than five miles away and whiskeys using grain harvested by farmers less than 10 miles away.
