May 4, 2010 TUTHILLTOWN SPIRITS TAKES GOLD AND TWO SILVER MEDALS Louisville, KY Gardiner's own TUTHILLTOWN SPIRITS staff was on hand in Louisville Kentucky, the heart of Bourbon country, Tuesday evening when the AMERICAN DISTILLING INSTITUTE ("ADI") announced the top awards for artisan spirits from among the two hundred fifty micro distilleries across the US. Taking Silver Medals were TUTHILLTOWN'S HUDSON MANHATTAN RYE WHISKEY and HUDSON FOUR GRAIN BOURBON in their respective categories. But the real surprise came at the end of the awards when ADI President Bill Owen announced there'd been added another category for Best Package Design; MANHATTAN RYE WHISKEY was awarded the Gold Medal. ADI is the industry association of micro distillers in the U.S. It has grown in size from 50 to 250 members in just five years. TUTHILLTOWN SPIRITS is among the most well known and respected of this new generation of spirits producers for it's aggressive promotion of the "small spirits" industry and for their legislative efforts to improve the climate and encourage small scale agricultural distilling of high quality craft spirits. TUTHILLTOWN SPIRITS is the first whiskey distillery in New York since Prohibition. It's main products are the HUDSON brand of hand made whiskeys. The distillery sources most of its raw materials from local growers. Both the whiskeys entered in the competition were made with rye and corn from Tantillos' Farm in Gardiner. The distillery's whiskeys and vodka are served in the finest restaurants, cocktail lounges and hotels in seventeen States, seven European Union countries and Australia. The distillery is open for tours on weekends. For more about the distillery visit:www.tuthilltown.com Contact: Ralph Erenzo |
