Knob Creek Rye

The nose is spicy and fruity, with white pepper, paprika, lemon rind and sweet apricots. After a while a soft herbal note developes. Very inviting, and very rye!

This whiskey has an amazing mouthfeel, its really thick and chewy. Think Drambui-like syropiness at 50%. Its sweet too, but rye spices develop quickly to balance it so it doesn`t get cloying. Nice notes of orange marmelade and candied orange peel.

The finish starts spicy and a little hot, and dies quickly with a sweet and juicy taste. Could have been longer, but its very nice and not bitter at all for me.

All in all, its a worthy rye whiskey thats fun to drink neat, and probably would be amazing in a cocktail (Old Fashioned, Mint Julep...)
