$43.99
Taxes and shipping calculated at checkout.

Crafted in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Hudson Whiskey's 'Bright Lights, Big Bourbon' draws inspiration from the vibrant energy of New York City itself. This bourbon stands out with its deep, rich flavors, thanks to careful aging and the use of locally sourced ingredients that bring the essence of New York to every bottle.

On the nose, it's immediately enticing with aromas of caramel, vanilla, and a whisper of spice, creating a warm, inviting first impression. The flavor profile is rich and complex, with layers of toffee, baked apple, and toasted oak that build on the palate. A delicate spice—think cinnamon and clove—lifts the experience, adding depth and warmth. The finish is smooth and lasting, with a gentle smokiness and a touch of fruitiness that leaves a lasting impression.

Whether you're sipping it neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, Hudson Whiskey 'Bright Lights, Big Bourbon' is a spirit that embodies the bold spirit of New York—both powerful and refined, with a character that stands out in every glass.

More about Hudson Whiskey

Hudson started at Tuthilltown in Gardiner, in the Hudson Valley, where Ralph Erenzo and Brian Lee opened what was billed as New York's first distillery since Prohibition in 2003. Their small-batch bourbon and rye helped kick off the craft whiskey boom, and William Grant & Sons, the family behind Glenfiddich and Balvenie, bought the Hudson brand in 2010 and the whole operation in 2017. Still distilled in Gardiner: New York whiskey made where whiskey was once forbidden.
