Knob Creek Snatches Another Spot On The Top Shelf With New 10-Year-Old Pre-Prohibition Style Rye

Knob Creek 10 Year Rye

Empty space on the top shelf of my bar at home is hard to come by. Anytime something special comes along and I feel like it warrants a special spot it takes a massive reorganization effort on my part (‘reorganization effort = finish one of the other bottles) in order to make space, and I did exactly that with the release of Knob Creek’s new 10-year rye whiskey, a pre-prohibition style rye.

Growing up I was always told I had a sweet tooth but as I got older I learned my palate craves spice. As it turns out, both can be true and what draws me to rye whiskey is the combination of rye spice with the sweet caramel and vanilla notes which this Knob Creek 10 Year Rye is chock full of.

Another spot on my top shelf is occupied by the limited-release Knob Creek 18-Year Bourbon which steals my heart every time they release it. That bottle has now welcomed the Knob Creek 10 Year Rye with open arms and I suspect the 10 Year Rye won’t last as long the shelf as it’s perfectly suited for sipping neat and mixing into a boulevardier.

Knob Creek 10 Year Rye — What’s In The Bottle

This new addition to the Knob Creek portfolio sits in the barrel for a decade. Somehow ‘a decade’ seems to hit harder in my head than ’10 year’ and really put into perspective how long this pre-prohibition style rye whiskey sits in charred barrels.

  • 100 proof
  • Aroma rich with caramel, vanilla from the extra barrel aging, dried apple, and thick with rye spice
  • Tastes of creamy vanilla, caramel, black peppercorn, and hints of the oak char comes through
  • A long smooth finish full of baking spice and rye spice
  • Suggested retail price of $69 for a 750ml

Pre-prohibition style ryes are so different from typical ryes on the market it’s hard to compare them. There’s more honey on the palate, more flavor. Historically, they are distilled using a three chamber still versus the more common pot stills used today and there’s been a push over the past 8ish years to bring this style back.

8th generation Beam family master distiller Freddie Noe spoke about this release, saying “Whiskey enthusiasts know when they’re drinking our whiskey, it’s aged to perfection and crafted with exceptional full flavor. We’re excited to bring an extra-aged rye whiskey with even more robust flavors from a decade of aging in our barrels.”

Freddied added “When my grandfather created Knob Creek® over 30 years ago, he set out with the intention to craft a premium whiskey without shortcuts, and we’re excited to continue his legacy – I know he’d love it, just like our fans will.”
