Rare Character Hurst Knoll Kentucky Straight Rye is a Kentucky straight rye whiskey developed by Pablo Moix. It is blended from rye barrels aged at least seven years and bottled at 50.5% ABV. Designed with a focus on classic cocktails such as the Manhattan and Old Fashioned, the whiskey emphasizes a balanced profile built on rye spice and depth.
The first few sips lean toward sweet and caramel, and wood influence — specifically some lightly drying tannins and oak sugars — is perceptible much earlier compared to the nose. Lightly drying spice builds after a few tastes, specifically nutmeg and cinnamon that come well-integrated with seasoned wood.
