Knob Creek Small Batch 7 Year Straight Rye Whiskey (750ml) Slater as you edge closer toThough this new offering meets the technical criteria for rye (a mash bill of at least 51% rye), the sweet, caramelly flavors suggest a high rye Bourbonwhich makes sense considering that Knob Creek is best known for its Bourbon. Expect bold almond, oak, brown butter and pecan pie flavors. The drying baking spice finish is more characteristic of rye, and has less bite than might be expected of a 100 proof spirit.
