Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery in
Gardiner Township (NY)

Personally I'm not much of a spirits drinker outside cocktails but we brought some friends here that were visiting. We did the tour and tasting and I highly recommend it - just be sure to get a "walktail" to take along. After the walk around the grounds we went to the bar and had our tasting. You get a free glass to take home too. The bar itself is oozing with charm and the staff are all great. Plenty of options to buy whiskies, Bourbon, gin and more as well. There was a taco truck in the small front side parking if you're looking for a bite to eat and seating outdoors to enjoy it along the river side.

These folks do some great bourbons and ryes. Their specially bottles like sherry cask finished bourbon or peated rye are delicious, really well executed whiskeys. The tasting room is beautiful, the outdoor seating is so relaxing, and when Rye the distillery cat makes an appearance you know it's going to be a good day. The staff were all very friendly. They do some really different but delicious cocktails at the bar.

Nick gives the greatest tour! The food truck & a whiskey/rye tasting rounds out a great afternoon…

Phil and Quinn were amazing! We did a tasting and a few drinks as well as had great conversation. Such a cool spot and wonderful atmosphere.

Amazing experience with a great distillery! Perfect spot for a large or small gathering. I worked via email and phone with Nick and he was so accommodating when my plans changed. The outside space is lovely and the drinks are delicious. I would love to come back here!

Wow! Best distillery we ever visited. The tasting was so fun, and the cocktails were incredibly creative and delicious! Dirty work on the new menu is outstanding!!! What truly made this place stand out is the staff. Rachel, Quinn, and another lovely bartender whose name i forgot (had too much fun i think ?) were so hospitable, friendly and knowledgeable. Looking forward to come back and taste their creations again! Do not miss this place if you are around!!

Thanks to local friends , found this hidden gem! This is like a little piece of Kentucky , in NY! Amazing staff , shout out to Rachel for taking care of us and making the experience epic! Amazing tastings and the ambience was on point! Will coming back when their 7 year is back in stock! ✌?

It is a very nice place , with lovely warm and cosy atmosphere, special thanks to people who’s working there. We had a great experience and Jasmine made us a best old fashioned.

"A Perfect Venue for a Perfect Day" Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery provided an idyllic setting for a wedding that we photographed. The team, including Jacob, Jackson, and Rachel, were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Their care and attention to detail made the day truly special. From the beautiful countryside backdrop to the exceptional quality of their spirits, Tuthilltown exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this distillery for any event.

Lots of unique options including alcoholic beverages with rose or pomegranate boba. Staff is very nice. Beautiful seating area outside along the river, peaceful.

Loved the tour and the bar! Everyone was warm and welcoming. I’m not a whiskey drinker but I learned the difference (in knowledge and taste!) of bourbon vs rye. The flight is really cute, comes in little vials and a glass that you can take home.

The bourbon was amazing. The vibe of this place was outstanding. But by far, the highlight was the exceptional service that we received. A memorable, special evening. Special thanks to Rachael who took great care of us out-of-towners!

What better thing to do when the wind chill factor tries to keep you indoor than to visit a distillery. Enjoyed a few hours at Tuthilltown Distillery and the 7 samples I tried in the tasting room. I ended up with 2 bottles that I couldn’t walk away from and some gifts (shot glasses) generously given to us by the staff. The staff were welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable. Do plan to return for the tour provided once the weather is better. Until then, have my 2 bottles to have at home…

Good self guided tasting! 20 dollars for 6 mini sample bottles of their current releases(out of 8 or 9 that you can choose from). Nice laid back tasting room and bar that you can drink the samples or order specialty cocktails made with Hudson Whiskey. You get to keep the Hudson Whiskey rocks glass as a souvenir as well the samples bottles

Our experience at Tuthilltown Distillery was truly exceptional, largely thanks to Matt's outstanding tour presentation. His extensive knowledge, engaging demeanor, friendliness, and welcoming attitude made the tour thoroughly enjoyable. The Hudson whiskey selection surpassed expectations, offering a diverse and impressive range. We left eager to return and explore more. Kudos not only to Matt but also to the entire staff at Tuthilltown Distillery for creating a welcoming atmosphere. An extra perk was the convenience of free EV charging, showcasing their commitment to a positive and forward-thinking visitor experience.

We came here for a quick whiskey tasting, and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Our bartender (forgot her name, but she was lovely) was extremely knowledgeable and helped guide us into choosing the 6 spirits we could try. We ended up doing 3 and 3 and sharing the vials. You also get complimentary rocks glasses. We had a fun experience trying the spirits but what really made us enjoy the place was the specialty cocktails they have, and the personalities of the employees. Everyone working there was so friendly and welcoming and we felt right at home. I wish I had written down the names of the drinks we had, but one of them was like a breakfast cocktail in terms of taste (bacon, pancakes, maple syrup, and even had a whole egg in it as well). The other was one with ginger beer and apple vodka. We loved both of our drinks. They tasted fantastic and had beautiful presentation. This place was lovely overall. Again, as much as we liked our tasting, it was the interaction with the employees and the cocktails that really stood out. The ambiance of the bar added to that. It was clean, quiet, and relaxing. Next time we plan to do the full tour of the distillery, which we didn't have time to do that day. Definitely check them out!

We had such a phenomenal time on our whiskey tour. The two of us love learning new things about the whiskey-making process, and on this tour Mac was dropping knowledge left, right and center. On top of that, he was so personable, answered all our questions, and had a sense of humor that made the experience a delight. We had the opportunity to try 2 bourbons straight from the barrels, one from 3 years ago, and one that was just a few months old. This is a special way to get closer to the art of whiskey, seeing how the aging really changes the profile of the bourbon. And it's not something you get to do at every distillery, so that was special! Tuthilltown Spirits is making quality whiskeys, gins & more, and on top of it all they have a creative and delicious cocktail menu spun up by their team. We’ll definitely be back, and would recommend to anyone looking for hyperlocal craft whiskey distilling.

This is the distillery of hudson whiskies and some craft gins, vodkas and liquers, their stuff is pretty good, the have beers and ciders from local breweries & craft cocktails

We did the whisky ? distillery tour and tasting yesterday and we had a good time! A good experience for sure, thanks to Mac our guide. We enjoyed the candidness and the humor of our tour with him. Definitely leaving with a better appreciation of the distillery process ? Wish to come back in cooler months so we can linger outdoors. cocktails were great btw! Our faves where sense and sensibility (gin based) and Seed Spittin’ with the coconut water, watermelon and whisky - so refreshing! Great for summer! ?

If you like whiskey, this place is a must visit while in the area! The service was phenomenal, everyone was friendly and eager to help. The self-guided tasting is a great deal and there are so many great options to try - bourbon, rye whiskey, vodka, gin, and liqueurs. They also had lots of cocktail options, both unique mixes and the traditional. There was seating inside as well as outside on a covered patio with heat lamps. The property itself is beautiful - I'll have to come back when it's not raining to explore more!

Really nice place. Friendly people. Cool tasting room. The maple rye is awesome! I bought a bottle for myself and several for gifts. I just wish they could ship it to Arizona. You can get some of their stuff at Total Wine here in Tucson, but not the maple rye. ☹️ I recommend Tuthilltown Distillery. Update: I’ve been told that it has since been sold to a much bigger company and the quality of the whiskey isn’t what it used to be. ?

Whiskey and spirits tastings and cocktails in a rustic setting, plenty of outdoor seating. We did a whiskey tasting which consisted of 5 whiskeys or spirits of your choice for $12. You get a glass to take home as well. Staff was very friendly. Clean restrooms, free WiFi. We will definitely be back, would like to try their cocktails

We happened to be in the area and stopped by for a look. I did a sampling of the whiskeys and was quite impressed. The area and the property are very beautiful. The staff was very knowledgeable and very attentive. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I've been here once before and swung by recently on my way back from hiking at Mohonk Mountain. Both times were wonderful. They have an awesome distillery cat and a great rustic aesthetic. I did the whiskey flight and my girlfriend tried one of their cocktails called "I'll Have What She's Having." We both enjoyed it thoroughly. Will come back when I'm in the area!

Absolutely incredible experience just down the road from Angry Orchard! No reservations required, just walk in and enjoy a tasting, cocktail or shop in their retail store. Tastings are only $12 for a selection of 5 products, and comes with a rocks glass! I loved the bourbon and whiskey selections the most. Bag of chips must be purchased per person per NY State Law. Staff was extremely friendly and amazing in everyway! They import barrels from Kentucky, and everything is aged on site. Lots of history and can't wait to see what the future holds for the distillery!

I'm sure I don't know why they're called Tuthilltown when they make the well-known Hudson Whiskeys, but alas, they do what they do very well. The Whiskey you already know, it's delicious, the setup right now is as good. Great food options, great drinks, beautiful setting.

The whole of the northeast region of the US has benefitted from Tuthilltown being in operation. And visiting the place where the magic happens does not disappoint. They've expanded their operations and adapted to the current situation and restrictions by creating a large outdoor patio seating area where you can sample products, enjoy cocktails and snacks, and generally soak up the peace, calm, and quiet of the soothing Shawangunk countryside. To be sure, Tuthilltown creates some of the best spirits available on the market, and this is the place to not only sample them, but purchase them on site at a hefty discount than what you'll find them priced at your local store. Plus they also have liqueurs and special editions not available anywhere else but at this location. Staff is friendly, welcoming, and informative. And be sure to pet or at least take a picture of Bourbon the cat, who doesn't deal well with the heat (since, you know, he's covered in fur). Stay tuned to find out when their restaurant, Char 1788, will reopen. Can't wait.
