TuthilltownSpiritsGovernmentWarningRyeWhiskey(375ml)

Sans When Brian Lee and Ralph Erenzo founded ‘Tuthilltownâ€? New York’s first whiskey distillery since Prohibition, it was with a gung-ho, can-do attitude: “If there are people with half a kindergarten education and no teeth back in the mountains who have figured this outâ€?declared Ralph Erenzo, “We can do it.”After a half million dollar investment and jumping through countless legal hoops, the distillery based at the Tuthilltown Gristmill (a National Historic site built in 1788) is now producing excellent small batch, ‘hand madeâ€?Bourbon, Corn & Rye whiskies. Where possible, local ingredients are employed, with double distillation taking place in a small copper pot still, followed by maturation in tiny American oak casks.
