Hudson Whiskey has introduced New York Straight Bourbon Whiskey 5-Year-Old, a rich, grain-forward whiskey aged a minimum of 5 years. The limited-release marks Hudson Whiskey’s second aged offering.
The Hudson New York Straight Bourbon Whiskey 5 Year Old is pot-distilled from a mash of 95% corn and 5% malted barley sourced from local family farmers in the Hudson Valley. The Kosher Certified release matured in American Oak barrels for five years to produce a spirit that offers a buttery blend of vanilla, citrus, and cornbread on the nose, and notes of cashew butter and caramel on the palate. The brand recommends the whiskey basically every way: neat, on the rocks, or mixed in a cocktail.
“Complex and layered, yet refined, the Hudson New York Straight Bourbon Whiskey 5 Year Old provides a long and balanced finish,” says Brendan O’Rourke, Hudson Whiskey’s Chief Distiller. “Hudson Whiskey’s genesis is rooted in distilling spirits as bold as New York, and this limited release is a continuation of our experimentation with aged innovations, a celebration of how far we’ve come in the past 20 years since our founding. ”
“As the distillery continues to age, so do our offerings. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, this 5 Year Hudson New York Straight Bourbon release continues to exemplify Hudson Whiskey’s intent to pave the way for American craft whiskeys,” says Jill Palais, Senior Brand Manager, American Whiskeys William Grant & Sons.
Hudson Whiskey’s portfolio includes Four Part Harmony; Bright Lights, Big Bourbon; Do The Rye Thing; Short Stack; and Back Room Deal.
Bottled at 46% ABV, Hudson New York Straight Bourbon Whiskey 5-Year-Old is priced at $49.99 per 750ml bottle. For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
