Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Rye

Nose: sharp spice and spearmint, a little citrus as well Mouthfeel: a little chewy and astringent, nothing that special Taste: subtle building into a spicy and oaky burn that challenges without overpowering a smoky and sweet treat Finish: medium to long with plenty of heat for a cold night

Single Barrel selection from Market Basket Liquor. Great choice. Solid rye. Spicy bold and very sweet for the proof. Bought for $45 would buy if you can find.

Solid stuff! Was taken back by it's ability to hold it's own against other formidable Ryes out there. Found 4 on shelf and proceeded to buy 2 here in San Diego at a local Beverage chain, took a chance, knew if I went back for another they would be gone regardless if it was good or not. No buyer remorse here whatsoever, hits fairly strong at first on all notes with palate as well as finish, but tapers real fast to zero, not chewy at all, but thats ok, bang for the buck this stuff delivers!

Bloom on your lips.

Aged 6-8 years. Mash Bill: 55% Rye, 35% Corn, and 10% Malt. (Beam Suntory). 2018 single barrel sounds like it has a higher than average age (perhaps 6-8 years).

Much better than the everyday KC rye. 115 proof... spicy and delicious. Don’t pass on it if you can buy a bottle.
