Hudson Manhattan Rye
Bottling Note
Thanks to Tuthilltown Spirits, we can once again enjoy whiskey from New York, with this one in particular harking back to the pre-prohibition age of whiskey distillation in and around The Big Apple.
Ponder for a moment the earliest Manhattan cocktails being mixed up using rye whiskey. Now think about New York rye whiskey being a 'thing' back then. That.
Just got our 6th bottle in at The Albion Winchester
Blind on blind with any other Rye Whisky this one destroys the playing field! Keep it going!please!!

Fantastic!
Seriously, great stuff. I have had many single malts, some very expensive, but nothing compares. I really love this stuff. I never thought a great whiskey could come from the colonies. Its like a mouth full of cinnamon and spearmint marshmallows with hints of smoke and wood. This is the only thing I look forward to when I visit the states.

Lip-smacking!
Feisty, but not too bold. The funky rye spiciness is actually more powerful on the nose than in your mouth. Oily mouthfeel, but not too resinous. Lots of dessert-like flavors throughout the palate and finish, mostly maple, cinnamon and allspice. A nice dram, but so very overpriced! Try to buy this one in the USA if you can - it's less than USD$40 a bottle over there.
