Hand-crafted at New York’s first whiskey distillery since Prohibition, Hudson Whiskey’s story began in 2001 with a 240-year-old mill in Gardiner. One batch at a time, distillers worked their process for six months to craft the whiskey by hand, capturing the essence of the region through a dedicated use of agricultural resources from local farms. Named “Best Artisan Distiller of 2010” by the American Distilling Institute, Hudson Whiskey has quickly climbed its way to the top shelf.
