Hudson Whiskey NY Do the Rye Thing is a straight rye whiskey aged for at least three years in new, charred American oak barrels. It features a mash bill of 95% New York rye and 5% malted barley.
The flavor profile is not very dynamic, nor does the finish last very long, but what does stick around is pleasant enough. Would use in cocktails rather than just drink to enjoy.
This is a rye that forgoes much of the typical heat and spice of rye whiskeys, and instead puts forth a surprisingly delicate and fruit-leaning flavor profile. With a little more age and a little less grain, Hudson has a real winner here.
