New York’s Hudson Whiskey has announced a new, limited-edition release along with its new working partnership with baseball’s New York Mets.
The Empire State duo teamed up on this new, limited-edition bottling of Hudson’s “Bright Lights, Big Bourbon,” tagging it the “Official Bourbon of the Mets.”
A statement from Hudson’s noted this whiskey is crafted and bottled in New York’s Hudson Valley, and it’s a grain-forward straight bourbon bottled at 92 proof, 46% ABV.
The whiskey was distilled from New York corn, rye, and barley and aged in new charred American oak barrels for at least three years.
Now carrying the moniker of Official Bourbon of The Mets, the tasting notes show the whiskey to have notes of vanilla and lightly salted caramel on the finish.
All of Hudson’s whiskey variants are made from ingredients grown on family farms in the Hudson Valley.
The limited-edition bottle is available at select retailers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut with a suggested price of $39.99 for a 750ml bottle.
The new, three-year partnership between the New York Mets and William Grant & Sons USA (Hudson’s parent company) started on Major League Baseball’s opening day, with the portfolio of spirits available for purchase at Citi Field for fans throughout the baseball season.
