- Description
- Knob Creek Rye matures for seven years in deeply charred barrels and is bottled at a robust 50% ABV, balancing the spice expected of high-rye whiskey with surprising sweetness from a higher corn content. Vanilla, browned butter, and rye spice layer beautifully, making it excellent neat or in classic cocktails.
