How to Visit the Hudson Whiskey Distillery or Attend Events

Updated

Hudson Whiskey's website includes dedicated Distillery and Events sections, so the place to start is hudsonwhiskey.com — look for those two navigation items to find tour information and event listings. The site also states that Hudson Whiskey is "New York's first whiskey distillery since prohibition," which is the main reason visitors seek it out. Note that the available site material confirms these sections exist but does not spell out tour schedules, ticket prices, or a booking form, so treat the site itself as the source of truth for current details.

What the Website Offers Visitors

Based on the site's own navigation and content, you can expect to find:

  • Distillery — background on the distillery and, per the site's description, the ability to "book a tour with us."
  • Events — a section for event information.
  • Shop — a linked store page (/en-US/buy-hudson-whiskey/) if you want bottles rather than a visit.
  • Our Story — brand history, useful context before or after a tour.

The site's own summary line is: "Shop Hudson whiskey, bourbon and rye today, or book a tour with us."

How to Plan a Visit

  1. Go to hudsonwhiskey.com.
  2. Open the Distillery section to read about tours and look for a booking entry point.
  3. Check the Events section for scheduled happenings.
  4. If no booking form appears, use the contact details on the site to ask about availability directly.

Expected result: you either complete a booking through the site or come away with the correct contact channel. The site does not publish tour times or prices in the material available, so don't assume a walk-in policy.

What You Can Taste or Buy

If your visit is partly about the whiskey itself, the site lists these products, all at 46% ABV:

Product Type Notable detail
Bright Lights, Big Bourbon New York Straight Bourbon Core bourbon
Do The Rye Thing New York Straight Rye Core rye
Short Stack New York Straight Rye Finished in maple syrup barrels
Back Room Deal New York Straight Rye Finished in peated Scotch barrels

Hudson Whiskey is described on the site as fully owned by William Grant & Sons, a fifth-generation Scottish family distiller.

If You Want the Cocktail Experience Instead

The site publishes house cocktail recipes you can make at home — useful if a tour isn't practical. For example, the New Money Old Fashioned uses 2 parts Hudson Bright Lights, Big Bourbon, 1 bar spoon Demerara simple syrup, and 1–2 dashes aromatic bitters, stirred with ice and strained over a large ice chunk with expressed orange zest. The Ca$h 4 Gold combines 2 parts Bright Lights, Big Bourbon with ¾ part fresh lemon and ¾ part honey syrup, shaken and strained over fresh ice.

Common Snags

  • No published schedule or pricing on the site material — check the Distillery and Events pages directly rather than relying on third-party listings.
  • Booking may route through contact rather than an instant form — have your preferred dates ready before you reach out.
  • Age and legal requirements — distillery visits and purchases are subject to local alcohol regulations; confirm eligibility before booking.
