Hudson Bright Lights,Big Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Distilled and aged in Brooklyn from New York-grown corn, this is Hudson Whiskey’s flagship straight bourbon — bold and grain-forward by design, matured in new charred American oak with no finishing cask involved. Rich vanilla and oak lead the nose, moving into stone fruit, cornbread, caramel, and cashew on the palate, with a long, warming finish. Bottled at 92 proof, it’s a genuinely well-made expression of New York-grown, New York-made bourbon — a nice story to tell on the shelf given Hudson’s role in reviving post-Prohibition distilling in the state.
