Hey Drew, Paul and Thomas. Thanks so much for your interest in Tuthilltown and the informative and entertaining podcast.
A few points I wanted to address from the Podcast. Tom, lots of great info here and we really appreciate the support, but I do have to correct one point….Bourbon can be made anywhere in the United States. Its a common myth that Bourbon can only be made in Kentucky, but a myth nonetheless. The defining points of Bourbon are as follows:
1. Must be made from a mash of no less than 51% corn
2. Aged in new charred, white American oak casks
3. Must come off the still no higher than 80% abv
4. Must go into the barrel no higher than 65% abv
5. Must be made in the good ol USA.
Both our Hudson Baby Bourbon and our Hudson Four Grain Bourbon are actual bourbons made in NY State. There are other bourbons being produced in micro distilleries around the country. Keep your eyes out for some delicuious ones from Leopold Bros as well as Deaths Door Distillery.
The other clarification is on our mash bill for the Manhattan Rye. As you mentioned Tom, Rye needs to be at least 51% Rye, ours however is 100%, single grain Rye. One of the few on the market.
Other than those two clarifications, you guys are right on point. And glad you enjoyed to Rye.
Offer stands, just swing by and mention this Nerd Moment Podcast and we will be happy to give you a free tasting on the house.
Cheers

I was not consuming any whiskey (whisky?) while listening to this episode but my mouth watered none the less. Great guest you guys had on the show – job well done!

My favorite nerd moment yet. Have more tasting shows: beer, wine, etc. What would be really cool is if you did common brands and could let us know ahead of time so we could drink it as we listen (ok, I guess I could just look at the show notes before listening). Great guest.
You could even have the tasting as the background to the tech stuff. “Today we will be talking about x while drinking y.”

I really enjoyed being on the show. Drew and Paul are great hosts! And I am glad I only made two mistakes! I updated my blog posting about the show to clearly call out the corrections and I linked to the legal definition of Bourbon, in case you want to go to that level of detail. Thanks to Gable, again, for his enthusiastic support!
