Knob Creek 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 750 ml

Knob Creek Straight Rye Whiskey applies Booker Noe’s pre-Prohibition bourbon philosophy to rye — patiently aged in the deepest charred barrels and bottled at 100 proof to deliver the big, bold spicy flavor that rye whiskey is built for, producing an extraordinarily smooth yet spicy expression with herbs, rye, and oak on the nose, bold rye spice with vanilla and oak undertones on the palate, and a warm smooth finish with spice throughout.

Rye whiskey is defined by its grain bill — a mash containing at least 51% rye grain, which produces the characteristic spicy, peppery, and herbal character that distinguishes it from corn-based bourbon. Knob Creek Rye uses a high-quality rye blend in the same deeply charred barrel and patient aging framework that defines the Knob Creek bourbon range, bottled at 100 proof to deliver the rye’s full intensity without dilution. The result is a rye that delivers the bold spice that rye drinkers expect alongside the oak depth and vanilla smoothness that the Knob Creek charred barrel program contributes.
