2009 Knob Creek Cask Strength Rye Whiskey 750ml
Whiskey
| Description: | Manufacturer's Notes: Over 25 years ago, master distiller booker noe set out to create a whiskey that adhered to the original, time-tested way of doing things. He named it knob creek. We age every batch in maximum-char barrels to pull every bit of natural sweetness from the oak. Then we bottle it at an uncommonly balanced 100 proof. Knob creek is whiskey the way its supposed to be: full flavored. We make every drop count so that you can make every minute count. About the whisky: A special, limited-edition whiskey that features our biggest and boldest rye liquid yet. Named "best rye whiskey " at the 2018 san francisco world spirits competition, this liquid takes the rich and savory notes of our award-winning knob creek® cask strength rye whiskey to the next level as an extra-aged, uncut and unfiltered* straight rye whiskey. This limited-edition rye from knob creek beat the odds to rise to number two by flexing its muscle to impress tasters from both the u.S. And the uk. Superlatives were in good supply: intense, massively chewy, huge, very bold, aggressive. This 9 year old, unfiltered, cask-strength bottling simply presents heaps of flavor for a fair price. Caramel-drizzled flan, charred marshmallow, and honey-roasted peanut aromas lead to mouth-filling flavors of tropical fruits, citrus oil, and peach nectar. Lemony bright with cinnamon and peppery spice galore, it's surprisingly drinkable at proof, but water really unpacks the flavors. -Jeffery lindenmuth. Color: Golden Amber. Aroma: a Blend of Dill, Spice, Honey and Charred Oak. Taste: This Very Flavorful Rye Whiskey Starts With a Blend of Dill and Clove and Then Fades Into a Sweet Baking Spice With Slight Charred Oak Flavor. Finish: Light on the Tongue That Lingers of Warm Baking Spices and Ends With That Kentucky Hug to Remind You it Is Cask Strength. 93 Points Whisky Advocate. "Dripping with caramel and tingling with spice, this is a blockbuster whiskey that delivers across a spectrum of flavors. Maple syrup, sugar in the raw, and caramel-drizzled flan highlight the aroma, while the palate turns fruity and tropical with the sweet drive of peach nectar, grilled fruits, and pineapple upside-down cake. At the same time, it's lemony bright, warmly spiced, tremendously rich, and oh-so-good! Pour on the water and enjoy the ride!" (Jl, fall 2018) |
