Knob Creek Twice Barreled Rye 100 Proof
100 proof
NAS
Rye
Beam Suntory
Nose
Citrus (orange), cinnamon, and peppery spice with hints of evergreen and cedar.
Palate
Bold taste with pronounced tannins in the mid-palate. Nutty character (green boiled peanut quality), less sweet than expected for a double-barreled expression. Strong oak presence.
Finish
Not as lengthy or pronounced as anticipated from a twice-barreled rye.
Overall Score
3.6 / 5
A bold, tannic rye with interesting nutty and spice character, though the finish is shorter than expected for the added barrel treatment.
