Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Rye

Tasting the Single Barrel Select from Ken's Kegs in Lincoln, NE. W-W. FL- 04. R - 023 115 proof...delicious!

Warehouse 1; Floor 5; Rick 015 Barreled 02-12-16; Bottled 03-02-21 Age 5 years and 18 days Pick by Bull City Bourbon Club; Named "Knobbin' Thicke" Open 3 days Nose - Hot cinnamon raisin oatmeal, chocolate covered cherries, cocoa nibs, mint, eucalyptus, citrus oil, overripe peaches, medium oak, and medium ethanol. Palate - Viscous, oily, bready, lots of oatmeal and cereal grain, peach and cherry cobbler, black pepper, caramel, and lots of baking spices. Finish is medium-long with warming oak and rye spice, medium to hot ethanol, toasted grains and oatmeal, and more fruity cobbler notes. Another winner from my local BCBC group. This is one of the more standout mouthfeel whiskeys I've had this year, and a very nice changeup from the high rye mashbills I've had recently. Really good stuff. It's hard to beat Knob Creek Single Barrels for the price and proof. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother looking for rarer bottles in NC when I can grab high proof stuff from Beam, Maker's, Heaven Hill, Wild Turkey, Old Forester, and Jack Daniel's whenever I want. PSA - As a side note, you don't need to add your individual single barrels on Distiller. There are too many as is, and these searches get longer and longer with so many people adding store picks as options to add and review. It's annoying haha, please stop!!
