Hurst Knoll 7 Year Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Light spice, some cracked black pepper, a bit of menthol and mint, some mixed culinary herbs, and a hit of Ricola drops. On the palate the alcohol is well balanced with a mixed herbal note with hyssop and mint predominating in addition to baked brown bread and butter. D&M Staff Tasting Notes August 2026
