Description

Knob Creek Twice Barrelled Rye is a Kentucky straight rye whiskey with a secondary oak finish. It’s full-flavored using only highest-quality rye to create the World’s Best Straight Rye whiskey.

Appearance: Amber honey hue.

Nose: Sweetness, baking spices, oaky vanilla and a hint of candied orange.

Palate: Full-bodied and toasty, albeit neither overly spicy nor complex, from start to finish. The second barreling does its job of imparting a sweetness – with notes of tamarind and dark caramel. Then comes the warmth of cardamom, cinnamon, fennel seed, and grilled bread, with those notes continuing to linger on the finish. The aftertaste and mouth-feel offers a slight nod to rye, but overall the weight and richness rings more of a rye-bourbon marriage – and the “edge” and harsher notes typical of a rye are softened.
