Was my favorite rye for a long time, though recently have begun to prefer Colonel EH Taylor Rye, Willet 3yr, and High West Double Rye (and therefore likely Rendezvous Rye even more so). It's what I had hoped Basil Hayden's to be, and much recommended over it, as Basil Hayden's is just Knob Creek Rye watered down from 100 to 80 proof, but at a similar price ($48 for Knob Creek Rye vs $40 for Basil Hayden's).
For some reason, Knob Creek Pr-Prohibition Rye (4yr, 90 proof, green label, not the yellow label) is higher rated by Distiller.com users and editor ( https://distiller.com/spirits/jim-beam-pre-prohibition-style-rye ) than this, so I look forward to trying it. It may be due to that being spicier with a dryer finish, as I find the Knob Creek Rye a bit sweet (though splash of water helps) and not feisty enough, which is why I prefer High West Double Rye. This used to be my favorite rye however, before trying too many others.
