Hudson Manhattan Rye

Spicy, underdeveloped flavors, numbs my tongue

Great rye notes, almost hits it perfectly, but there's a distinct oak finish, which is in no way bad at all.

Mellow, nice body. On the herbal and oaky side of rye

Tried this at whiskey washback. Solid stuff with notes of cloves, pepper, marshmallows, and apples.

This was the single barrel, which I did not see listed on the site. Anyway, this is an interesting one. It has a unique flavor profile compared to other ryes I've tried in the past. Honey and maple on the nose. Brown sugar and iced tea on the palate. Not a particularly memorable finish. Overall, it's decent. 3 stars, and that may be considered a bit generous. It's not objectively bad, just not for me. Still better than their bourbon, which I found to be highly disappointing. At this point, I think I'll stay away from Hudson in the future.
