Enjoy this rare cask of whiskey, a tasting, a VIP tour of the Hudson Whiskey Distillery for 15 people and more in Gardiner, New York!
As New Yorkers, we want to do what we can to show our support for the place we call home and the people that make it unique. Hudson Whiskey wouldn’t be where it is today without our friends in the hospitality industry, friends that are a beautifully diverse group of people.
New York is great because of its diversity and we want to celebrate that and make an impact – so we’re auctioning off a rare cask of our whiskey (plus a tasting, VIP tour, and more) to support New York based individuals looking to further their careers in the hospitality industry.
For this reason, we’ve partnered with Diversity in Wine & Spirits, an organization that strives to transform the hospitality community by implementing diversity and inclusion initiatives that give everyone the opportunity to participate and achieve their highest potential.
What’s in it for you? The experience of a lifetime: selecting your very own barrel of Hudson Whiskey, straight from the source at the distillery in Gardiner, New York. You’ll start with an extensive, behind-the-scenes tour, learning about the rich history of distilling and the evolution of the liquid, then hear about our grain selection — all sourced from our neighbors in upstate New York — and the single grain mash bills that make Hudson Whiskey unique.
Since its inception in 2003 as the first distillery to open since prohibition and the first bourbon to ever be created in New York, we’ve had time to mature and experiment with new grains, blends, cask finishes and age statements. After the tour is over you’ll get to taste what’s new, sampling directly from several barrels chosen especially for you by the members of our team that make our whiskeys every day. First, try uncut whiskey straight from the barrel, to experience those distinctive flavors. Then, taste whiskey at bottling proof, where its natural aromas will shine through. Once you’ve tasted what we have to offer, pick your favorite and mark it with your signature as your personal barrel. We’ll hand bottle the contents of the barrel, put a customized label on each one, and ship them off to you along with the barrel itself — which we can also custom stencil — to commemorate your exclusive experience.
