Hudson Whiskey has unveiled a new limited-edition bottle in partnership with the New York Mets. The bottle from the New York-made duo reencapsulates Bright Lights, Big Bourbon as the “Official Bourbon of the Mets.”
Hudson Whiskey’s award-winning Bright Lights, Big Bourbon is a grain-forward straight bourbon bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV). Distilled from New York corn, rye, and barley and aged in new charred American oak barrels for a minimum of three years, the Official Bourbon of The Mets offers notes of rich vanilla and lightly salted caramel on the finish. This limited-edition bottle will be available for purchase at select retailers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut with a SRP of $39.99 (750ml).
This release comes on the heels of a new three-year partnership between the New York Mets and William Grant & Sons USA (WG&S). Its portfolio of premium spirits is available for purchase at Citi Field. Specific locations in the ballpark have customized branding with premium offerings from WG&S. These locations include The Cadillac Club at Payson’s, which houses a Hendrick’s Gin bar, Hudson Whiskey NY Club, Tullamore D.E.W. Centerfield Bar, and two new portable bars from Monkey Shoulder and Hudson Whiskey.
“Embracing the cherished pastime of baseball as an iconic tradition deeply rooted in American culture, we’ve set out to create a premium ballpark experience that pays homage to its timeless legacy,” says Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Jeff Deline. “Recognizing the need for a spirits partner with the same commitment to excellence and heritage, we proudly join forces with William Grant & Sons USA. Together, we aim to elevate our fans’ journey at our top-of-the-line amenities with an outstanding selection of spirits that mirror the timeless essence of America’s favorite game.”
“All of us at William Grant & Sons USA are overjoyed to be partnering with the iconic NY Mets and honored to have the opportunity to bring our world class spirits portfolio to Citi Field,” adds Paul Basford, President & Managing Director, USA of William Grant & Sons. “We hope fans deepen their connection with our esteemed brands and build new traditions with our offerings, whether cheering on The Mets both at the ballpark or with a bottle of our co-branded Hudson Whiskey at home this season.”
