About this deal

The Knob Creek brand was introduced 20 years ago and it is famous for being Beam Family’s premier small batch bourbons. The Willett Distillery was revived in 2012 after a near-thirty year absence, during which time KBD had established themselves as one of the USA's largest. I’m always cautious about generalizing my experience tasting a whiskey, given the natural variation in even batched expressions. At seven years, Knob Creek Rye achieves its optimal flavor profile resulting in the perfect balance between sweet barrel notes and spicy rye character. Into the finish, this again tacks toward the corny flavors; I’m tasting a buttery richness that helps offset the sharper woody flavors.

Every bad note on that whiskey is exceeded by a delicious one here which, moreover, are balanced against one another in a way that presents as more cogent in its totality.Palate Traditional rye spiciness, rich and mouth-coating, but not as overpowering as some other rye whiskey. To be eligible for a full refund you must contact us to inform us of any issue within 24 hours of receipt.

Ich erkenne hier wie bei keinem anderen Whiskey sonst die Karottennote, die auf der Zunge lange verbleibt, zusammen mit einer angenehmen Kribbeligkeit des Roggen. If you love rye that’s going to keep your mouth spiced and coated in pings of heat and flavor for a couple minutes after the sip, this is for you to drink neat.

I hesitate to put this in here because I don’t want to sound like this is a fruity rye but I get notes of cherry cinnamon and pomegranate. On the nose: Restrained at first, this takes some energetic sniffing before I am able to tease out some vaguely citric and creamy notes.

Knob Creek Straight Rye won Double Gold and was voted “Best Rye Whiskey” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2012.

For the ‘nothing special’ reviewer - I’d love to know what is - because in my opinion for a 50% abv rye this is extraordinary in flavour, quite sweet and a lovely velvety mouth feel, and well balanced avoiding being overwhelming.
