The taste of the Hudson Baby Bourbon is expressively woody, superbly smoky, with mellow notes of vanilla and caramel.

Producing the Baby Bourbon is done in a few process. First the corn is harvest and then dried. It is then grinded and then water is added for cooking and the mash is fermenting. It is left to mature in small charred New American Oak Barrels. With using small barrels mean more wood contact which gives the Baby Bourbon its rich, oaky smoky flavour.

The method of making this rye whiskey has also brough back small-batch distilling to the state of New York after this method disappear after Prohibition.

The taste of this Manhattan Rye is Vibrantly bold, spicy and backwoods rustic, with a smidgen of honey and coconut and in one that has to be on your shopping list if you like your rye whiskeys.
