Wine Enthusiast 89 points - Look for a dry, distinctly oaky, toasty profile, with plenty of deep, dark toffee and cayenne winding into the spicy, warming finish. Dilution pulls the flavors back to vanilla and buttered toast. Small batch..Kara Newman, July/2016 Ultimate Beverage Challenge 92 points - This is delightfully spicy rye with beautiful tones of dried cloves, walnuts, orange skin, and chocolatey oak. The fruit tone in the mouth switches a bit to dried cherry with a backdrop of toasty cinnamon and finish of baked honey. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge .April/2018 Knob Creek® Straight Rye Whiskey is made with a blend of the finest quality rye to create an extraordinarily smooth yet spicy finish.
