Developed by Pablo Moix and released under the Rare Character Whiskey Company, Hurst Knoll is built from Kentucky straight rye barrels aged a minimum of seven years, giving it enough maturity to show oak, spice, citrus, caramel, and herbal rye character without becoming overly tannic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"654\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003eThis release is positioned as a versatile rye made for classic cocktails while still being enjoyable on its own. The 101 proof bottling strength gives it enough backbone for Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Sazeracs, and other whiskey-forward drinks, while the seven-year age statement adds more structure than many younger cocktail-focused rye whiskeys. The profile leans bright and balanced, with rye spice, orange zest, caramelized sugar, toasted oak, vanilla, honeyed grain, cracked black pepper, cinnamon, and a lingering spicy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003eFor customers looking for a rye whiskey that works equally well behind the bar and in a tasting glass, Rare Character Hurst Knoll 7 Year Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a strong fit.
