Knob Creek Bourbon x Rye

Love this one. So rich and nutty. Subtle jammy notes, and a pretty spicy finish thanks to the Rye. Just a warm hug of a dram, really lovely

This is a rich sweet and spicy bourbon! The balance is very good! Still sweet enough to taste all of the bourbon notes but has the spice of the rye. This is an excellent addition to the knob creek lineup.

Caramel and vanilla sweetness but not overly sweet. Never really tasted the rye in the blend. I think the rye just adds some complexity which makes it better than the regular Knob Creek.

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Vanilla with a lot of spice. Palate: Cinnamon, clove, baking spice. Finish: Surprisingly long and very warm. Splash: A few drops of water helps to calm the spicier notes. Overall: 8.5/10 - I'm a rye guy (and a Knob Creek guy) and I found this to be overly spicy. It could be that it was the nck pour and this will open up over time, or it could be that this was just proofed a little too high. This would make a great Manhattan and at under $50 I'll have to try that.

Bought a bottle, drank it, don't need to get the "new" release.
