It's carefully handcrafted and patiently aged to produce the signature rich, mature flavor of our distinct family. Bottled at 100 proof, it can be enjoyed neat or as the base for contemporary or classic cocktails. It's everything you appreciate in Knob Creek blended with everything you appreciate in a rye.

Though 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 Bourbon-which 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.
