Hudson Maple Cask Rye Whiskey ($50 for 375 mL)

We’ve tasted whiskey aged in all kinds of barrels, from sherry and port to rum, but a barrel that previously held maple syrup? That’s a first. Hudson Maple Cask Rye Whiskey made by New York’s Tuthilltown Spirits is a sweet-and-spicy tipple that’s great with holiday cookies.
