Knob Creek is made in small batches, and is gently aged in charred barrels to bring out its mature flavours. Rye whiskey is particularly smooth and spicy, making it great to drink neat or over ice. Or it can bring a whole new dimension to your favourite cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan. Color: shades of gold to light amber. Taste: Bold rye spiciness with undertones of vanilla and oak. Aroma: Expansive notes of herbs and rye with nuances of oak.
