The UK-based company that makes Glenfiddich whisky, The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch whisky, and Stolichnaya vodka has bought the Hudson Valley line of spirits made by Tuthilltown Spirits. The company, William Grant & Sons, now owns a suite of Tuthilltown's most iconic creations, including Hudson Baby Bourbon.

The plan, according to a press release posted today on Tuthilltown's Facebook page, is for Grant & Sons to begin marketing and distributing its new American spirit line while keeping Tuthilltown's independence intact:

"We are extremely happy to be working with a family company that shares our philosophy," said Ralph Erenzo, distiller and partner for Tuthilltown Spirits.

The Jewish Single Malt Whisky Society enjoyed a recent visit to Tuthilltown Distillery in Gardiner:

Gable is one of these super-charming and disarming type guys.  A charismatic dude who knows his business quite well.  Gable went on to provide a tasting of their current line (at least the ones they could legally taste/sell in their tasting room/store):  Hudson New York Corn Whiskey, Hudson Baby Bourbon, Hudson Four Grain Bourbon, Hudson Manhattan Rye, Heart of the Hudson Apple Vodka (twice distilled), Spirit of the Hudson Apple Vodka (thrice distilled).

Their Vodkas, by the way, are Kosher for Passover as they are distilled from apples, not grain — Cheers on that!!
