History
The full guide to Tuthilltown Spirits
Tuthilltown Spirits began in 2001 on a historic gristmill site in Gardiner, in the Hudson Valley. Founders Ralph Erenzo and Brian Lee started with a small pot still and the first licence for a whiskey distillery in New York since Prohibition.
Their Hudson Whiskey range, including Baby Bourbon and Manhattan Rye, helped start the modern craft whiskey boom and showed that a small distillery could build a national brand.
In 2010 William Grant & Sons bought the Hudson Whiskey brand, and Tuthilltown has since continued as a craft distillery making its own range.
