Knob Creek Bourbon x Rye

I've found this isn't a "big" whiskey which means it gets a lot less willfully positive attention but I like it a lot. I think a lot of reviews are just scared to love shelfers.

Have been confused by the bad reviews on this one since my takeaway has been closer to yours. Guessing maybe some are finding the pepper to be overwhelming?

This one’s solid, and I frequently see it closer to $40 than its MSRP.

Agree, didn’t have the best reviews when it came out but glad I got it. Had this both neat and in an old fashioned. Thought it was decent and a great mixer!

Parent context: I did really enjoy this both in manhattans and old fashioneds - still need to try a sour with it Reply: My goto is 2oz bourbon, 1 tsp honey, and half a fresh squeesed lemon. Stir untill fully combined. Its Sour adjacent, more like a smash. But the honey and vanilla in the bourbon make it super smooth.

Nice review. Im a huge fan of this one

I really enjoy the bottle of this I have. Great proof, price is decent. Glad there is stuff out there like this and glad Beam is expanding their line up.

It’s bold, rich, sweet, spicy, rich and peppy. There’s nothing like it out on the market and this really performs better than the bourye I see on the shelf today (yes, looking at you, High West).

Parent context: Love this stuff, great base for an OF or Manhattan Reply: This is also my take, decent for sipping, phenomenal for a Manhattan.
