Hudson Bright Lights, Big Bourbon (75cl, 46%)

Bright Lights, Big Bourbon is a New York straight bourbon from Hudson, distilled at Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery in the Hudson Valley. It is bottled at 46% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The mash bill is 95% New York corn and 5% malted barley, and the whiskey spends a minimum of three years in new charred American oak. The high corn content gives a grain-forward style, with sweet corn leading and oak following. The grain comes from local family farms, and the bourbon is kosher certified. The nose offers rich vanilla and oak. The palate has stone fruit, corn bread, caramel and cashew over vanilla and baking spice, and the long finish brings lightly salted caramel and vanilla.
