Pros

  • Knob Creek
  • Other good ryes include Templeton, Knob Creek, Michter's (my favorite, but $), or the namesake Sazerac.
  • Parent context: Is it L0007? Could be 2020? But yeah, I really like older KC, the farther back the more it tastes like Turkey and less peanut-forward, more maple and vanilla. Reply: I really like older KC, the farther back the more it ta...
  • Knob Creek is trusty and relatively affordable.
  • Also looking for other super spicy rye recommendations (love knob creek, whistle pig, things in that range).

Cons

  • if there were some things you liked about Basil Haydens, but wanted to try something with a bit more character by the same distillery, then you could try Knob Creek next.
  • Knob Creek keeps a lot of control over theirs as well and as of late don’t have many stores come in for picks they send out 3 to 4 samples and you choose from those.
  • Parent context: I don't like the peanut and dust taste of Knob Creek so that's a pass for me. Reply: I don't like the peanut and dust taste of Knob Creek so that's a pass for me.
  • I have had a Knob Creek and wasn’t the biggest fan which is odd as I loved the 12 year I had
  • Must just be my palate but all I get from most knob creek is burn

Recent past buys have been Bulliet, Woodford reserve, Knob Creek and WT 101, which has been my go-to since the 80s.
