Description
Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Small Batch is an outstanding rye whiskey from the heart of Kentucky, USA. With a strong alcohol content of 50% by volume, this whiskey offers an intense and complex flavour experience that will delight lovers of high quality whiskeys. Produced in small batches, which is typical of the Knob Creek Distillery, this rye whiskey is characterised by artisanal distillation and careful barrel ageing, which give it its depth and character.
Knob Creek Rye is made from 95% rye, which gives it a bold flavour and distinctive spiciness that is typical of rye whiskey. The rye is distilled together with corn and malted barley malt and matured in toasted oak barrels, giving it a particularly balanced flavour with a blend of sweet, spicy and woody notes. The maturation in the casks ensures a balanced complexity and depth, which is perfectly emphasised by the high alcohol strength of the whisky.
