Inside Knob Creek Barrel Pick 116

Oak softens the grain without burying its bite. Similarly, expect a crisp finish rather than a syrupy one. Baking spice and herbal edges define the rye whiskey character. Even so, rye grain typically brings pepper and dry spice to the glass. That said, Knob Creek Barrel Pick 116 holds up to a second and a third look.

Pairings and Perfect Moments

Smoked salmon suits a lighter rye pour. For example, pastrami and rye bread mirror the grain in the glass. Gift shoppers often choose rye for the cocktail lover on the list. In turn, dark chocolate balances the drier finish. Home bartenders keep a bottle like this within reach. Therefore, pair it with Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Bourbon for a side by side tasting.

The Story Behind Rye Whiskey

Straight rye rests a minimum of two years in fresh oak. However, distillers across Kentucky, Indiana and Maryland shaped the modern category. Rye whiskey has returned to prominence with the craft cocktail revival. Moreover, New charred oak shapes every straight rye on the shelf. Rye built the American cocktail long before bourbon took the spotlight. In addition, browse the wider rye whiskey collection to compare styles.
