Knob Creek Bourbonxrye Blended American Whiskey 113 Pf Kentucky

Knob Creek’s blend of 7-year-old rye (70%) and 9-year-old bourbon (30%) leads with aromas of bright rye spices and black pepper, with vanilla, caramel, and peach candies adding depth. The nose has complexity, with wood stain and tobacco becoming more notable in time. The bourbon’s influence on the blend is more prominent on the palate, with peppery spice balanced by caramel apples, butterscotch, and berries. While it’s tame enough at bottle-proof, adding water brings out caramelized notes and barbecue spices.
