Attention rye whiskey lovers: there’s a new release rye in town.
Hitting bars this month, Knob Creek Rye is a small batch, 50% ABV whiskey with 51% rye in the mash bill. It’s aged for a minimum of two years in charred oak, and its higher alcohol content will give your Manhattans and Old Fashioneds a good whack of flavour thanks to that spicy rye character.
And it’s a flavour that’s likely to prove popular with bartenders, given that the Rye — along with the Knob Creek Bourbon and the Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve — picked up a double gold at this year’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
“Premiumisation in spirits and the resurgence of whiskey is a global trend that can’t be ignored. Knob Creek is in a unique position where we can draw on an incredibly rich history of whiskey expertise and knowledge and apply it to what consumers want and are drinking today to create world-class, award-winning products,” said Kristy Rathborne, brand manager at Beam Suntory Australia.
