Product Description

Knob Creek Rye Whiskey 750ml: 100-Proof Rye Spice with Caramel and Charred Oak

Knob Creek Rye Whiskey 750ml is a Kentucky straight rye whiskey from the Knob Creek portfolio. It is bottled at 100 proof, or 50% ABV, to preserve the robust spice, sweetness and charred-oak character associated with the brand.

The pictured packaging is an earlier non-age-stated presentation. Knob Creek subsequently added a seven-year age statement to its standard flagship rye while retaining the 100-proof strength. Because older bottles can remain in circulation, the physical label should be used to determine whether this particular bottle carries the seven-year statement.

Regardless of packaging generation, this is a full-flavored rye designed to work both as a neat pour and in classic whiskey cocktails. Peppery grain character is balanced by vanilla, caramel and oak from maturation in charred barrels.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rye bread, vanilla and caramel meet cinnamon, clove, orange oil and toasted oak.

Palate: Full and warming, with peppery rye spice, butterscotch, vanilla, dark chocolate and charred wood.

Finish: Long and spicy, carrying cinnamon, clove, oak and a lingering sweet-grain note.

Food Pairings

Pair with pastrami, smoked brisket, grilled sausage, aged cheddar or dark chocolate. Its rye spice also works with pickled vegetables, mustard and dishes featuring black pepper or baking spice.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat, with a splash of water or over one large cube. At 100 proof it has enough structure for a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Sazerac or Boulevardier. Store upright at stable room temperature away from direct sunlight.
