This is an approximately six-year-old rye whiskey bottled. On the swirl, a lovely viscous film with thick legs, with a beautiful honey amber color. On the nose, corn and herbal notes mingle with mild oak. On the palate, this whiskey has an elegant medium thick mouthfeel, with some slight corn sweetness in the background of a wonderfully spicy rye, and the taste reminds me a good bit of the Handy from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Really buttery spice cake on the palate, with a very nice lingering finish. Knob Creek Rye is not new. It is been out for a while, and it is fine.
