Whiskey Review: Hudson Manhattan Rye

Sharp spice notes of cinnamon, allspice, and pepper start off the front. In the mid palate, the spice notes are balanced by mint, dry oak, and a slightly bitter cereal grain flavor. The finish is mild with dry oak and light pepper. Final Thoughts: If you are looking for a craft distilled rye whiskey (not a brand selling MGPI-sourced rye whiskey), Hudson Manhattan Rye is a good place to start. I would also recommend trying a pour if you see it sitting on the shelf at a bar. However, if you’re merely looking for a rye whiskey for the home bar, the on average $40 to $50 price tag for a 375 mL bottle makes this a difficult purchase to recommend.
