Folks have talked about the amazing value of Knob Creek store picks for a long time. Mostly that love has been aimed at the bourbon selections. Now that aim has been extended to the brand’s rye whiskey, and especially the single barrel rye whiskey picks that are increasingly available at retailers.

Scott and I picked this Knob Creek rye nearly a year ago and we couldn't wait for you guys to try this one. When thinking back, the only thing I could remember was how easy this pick was. We had 4 samples and this one....was an easy choice...Here is the breakdown....

"Mash and Journey" Single Barrel Single Barrel Select Rye Whiskey
115 Proof | Warehouse Q | Floor 4 | Rick 47
Barreled: 6/13/2016 Bottled: 10/12/2022 | Age: 6 years 4 months

Nose: The aromas of this rye begins with a nose full of brown sugar, graham cracker, and honey with a clear hint of citrus and oak. 

Palate: This hits the palate with rye spice, caramel, cinnamon sugar, orange glaze and oak.

The finish combines rye spice, hint of leather and a long lingering cinnamon spice which is why we called it...."The Spicy Meatball"
