Reviewed September 21, 2023 (edited December 22, 2023)Single barrel select rye for Utah Dept of Alcohol Beverage Services. Warehouse 1, floor 4, rick 049, barrelled 12/16/2016, bottled 8/2/2022, 5 years 7 months, 115 proof. Tasted neat. Color is dark copper, average legs in the glass. Nose is earthy, sweet grain, dry straw, and oak. Light caramel and floral hints. In the mouth sweet vanilla and tannic oak, and a big burst of astringent ethanol. Earthy leather depth, but mouthfeel is thin and sweet. Rye spice comes on, but more grassy than baking spice or pepper. Mint and dry nettles tingle the mouth in a long finish, with sweet and sour notes. Kinda a push and pull set of flavors in the mouth, and ice doesn't sort that out. It's assertive, tannic, maybe more sour with ice. That's not bad, just distinctive. Loved the nose and the finish, and ice doesn't wash out that mint rye spice tingle finish. Nice. Nothing wrong with this that time and a few more glasses won't sort out, so...I'll revisit this over time.60.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed November 11, 2022I am not a huge rye whisley fan. I drink them fairly often but its not my go to. Thats what not being a huge fan means. Youre still a fan, just not a huge one. Knob Creek is part of the Jim Beam/Suntory hybrid frankenstein mega-company so in my mind they are part of the worlds problems and not on the solution side in any way. Most of their products are shells of their former glory and/or marketing gimmicks that only prove how dumb we as consumers truly are. But deep down in their deep dark place of deepy deep, they know how to make good whiskey. And Knob Creek is one of their most consistent outputs. This one, a barrel strength rye, is very very good. Oak and leather and spice and that minty peppery dill thing ryes often bring and if you’re like me which is unlikely you realize halfway through the dram that even the most bullshitty of bullshit artists sometimes do something positive, which is more than we can say about our installed leaders and mostly anyone who lives and works in Washington DC . So whether thats praise for JimBeam'SuntoryStein or a fiery insult to the wannabe powers that be, the interpretation is up to you.

Reviewed October 15, 2022Boozy 115 Proof Rye. Nice notes of wintergreen, barrel char (oakiness) and baking spice. Palate slightly muted for the proof. A nice pour.
