This latest release which combines two of Knob Creek's award-winning whiskeys, is described by the brand as a unique blend that embodies the best of both whiskey worlds, highlighting the perfect balance of the rich, sweet notes of Bourbon complemented by the robust, spicy undertones of Rye.
Knob Creek Bourbon x Rye, is said to deliver notes of sweet
maple, vanilla, nuts and baking spice on the nose. Followed by notes of brown
sweets, fruit and black pepper on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Freddie Noe, Eighth Generation
Master Distiller, said: "Knob Creek has captivated whiskey fans since its
inception and this year, we are pushing traditional whiskey boundaries with our
new Bourbon x Rye blend, delivering two of our best expressions, in one flavourful
sip. It is an honour to work with my dad to go beyond the traditional craft an
unexpected offering that upholds my grandfather's vision of creating
high-quality, flavourful whiskey."
Knob Creek Bourbon x Rye, is now available for a limited
time, from select retailers across the US, for a RRP of $44.99.
