Hudson Whiskey: An Overview
In the fall of 2010, Momentum Worldwide commissioned RMF to create a series of short films for Hudson Whiskey. The result of this collaboration is an overview film (featured here), as well as one short for each of their five products: Single Malt, Corn Whiskey, Baby Bourbon, Manhattan Rye, and 4-Grain. A small but dedicated film crew shot at Hudson’s tiny distillery in Gardiner, NY. We set out to capture the passion of these craftsmen, the hand-made nature of the endeavor, and the philosophy, texture, and even the smell of their beloved whiskey.

While the Scots made stops all over the country, RMF focused on their trips to New Orleans, San Francisco, and New York. On the strength of these films, Balvenie commissioned an additional film that celebrated their own traditional processed at their distillery in Dufftown, Scotland.
