Hudson Whiskey NY 5 is a five year old New York straight bourbon from Hudson Whiskey, the pioneering craft distillery based at Tuthilltown in Gardiner, in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Hudson helped launch the modern New York craft whiskey movement more than two decades ago, and this age stated release is a celebration of how far the distillery has come, marking only the second age stated whiskey in its lineup. It is built on a simple, corn forward recipe of 95 percent corn and 5 percent malted barley, with the grain sourced from local farmers in the Hudson Valley, and it is pot distilled in the distillery's signature style. The whiskey is then aged a minimum of five years in new American oak barrels, which gives it noticeably more depth, structure and oak integration than the younger core bourbon. It is also Kosher certified and bottled at 46 percent alcohol by volume, a step above the standard 40 percent for a fuller mouthfeel. The whiskey pours a moderate golden amber and opens with a buttery, grain forward nose of corn bread, vanilla and citrus with toasted, nutty notes. The palate is moderate to full bodied with an oily texture, layering cashew butter, caramel and sweet corn with gentle baking spice, and the finish is long and balanced. A limited release that showcases what patient aging brings to Hudson's high corn recipe, it makes an excellent sipping bourbon and an equally good base for a classic cocktail. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite whiskey cocktail such as an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. For fans of craft American whiskey and New York distilling, this is a rewarding pour.
