Knob Creek Rye

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Rye

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 50%

Score: 93 Points

While it’s not 9 years old like Knob Creek Bourbon, this 100% rye whiskey is excellent, with a nose full of ginger, cocoa, honey, and roasted almonds. The taste has notes of toasted rye bread, vanilla, honey, oak, and hints of ginger that develop slowly and last into the complex finish, complementing spicy touches of rye, cinnamon, and vanilla.
