Knob Creek Cask Strength Rye Whiskey 119.6 Proof

Knob Creek Cask Strength Rye Whiskey 119.6 Proof is Beam's first limited Knob Creek rye, named Best Rye Whiskey at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Nine years in Warehouse A, dumped at a single batch proof of 119.6, it is the undiluted take on Knob Creek's Kentucky rye: spice and sweetness at barrel strength. Use it in a spirit-forward cocktail that can take the heat.

Vanilla and honey ride in with warming spice, then black pepper, toffee, and a little minty dill. The mouthfeel is full and satisfying. Baking spice and charred oak linger after the heat fades, with brown sugar still standing out on the palate.
